Pere Marquette River - Construction Notice

Partners are removing an outdated electrical sea lamprey barrier and constructing a recreational access site on the Pere Marquette in Custer, Michigan.

Please note that instream work will occur at this site immediately downstream of Custer Bridge on the Pere Marquette between the dates of July 28, 2014 and August 29, 2014. The site is on the Pere Marquette River mainstem just south of Custer where Custer Rd crosses the river ~1 mile south of US-10.

The river will not be closed at this location, however, there will be flaggers at the bridge to ensure boater safety and navigability during construction and delays should be expected. Total project completion is targeted for October 10, 2014.

This project is being funded by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, OxyChem, and Great Lakes Fishery Trust and supported by a combination of state, federal and local agenices/municipalities and non-profits. Thank you for your patience. Learn more about the project at Recreational Access at Custer.
