The dam, which controls water levels along the Riverwalk, hasn't worked properly since it was damaged in 2021.
Work is underway to replace a 37-year-old floodgate on a dam on the San Antonio River downtown, more than three years after it stopped working in 2021. The dam at Nueva Street , referred to as “ Gate 5 ,” controls water levels along the Riverwalk , according to the city’s website. The San Antonio River Authority is replacing both the east and west gates at the dam, project manager Reuben Bazan said in a written statement.
For first time in decades, native mussels return to upper San Antonio River The east gate experienced a mechanical failure in January 2021. The city said the gate was being adjusted when “a broken part caused the gate to become non-operational.” Work on the east gate is expected to be completed in August, while the west gate is expected to be installed and operational by October, Bazan said. The city funded the project, allocating $7.6 million, he said.
