Dredges being built at Norway Bay: Ontario Hydro commissioned the building of three huge barges.
They will be welded together and railway tracks affixed to their tops along which dredging machinery will work to dig out the river bed near Arnprior for the Madawaska dam basin.

The material dug out there will then be carried on the barges to the middle of Chats Lake and dumped there.

The barge builders chose the Norway Bay site for their construction work because it was the most suitable place on this particular body of water.

The skyline at the old Norway Bay wharf has changed in the past few weeks during construction operations.

The curiosity of the public has also peaked. Even some of the workers on he project didn’t know what they were building. Now they know. And in case anyone is worried about all that rock being dumped into Chats Lake, it won’t spoil it for sailing because they tell us the bottom is 36 feet deep down and we won’t notice the difference.

Gordon Alexander of Shawville, is just one of twenty-five local people being employed in the building of three immense barges at Norway Bay.
