Northerly view along the eastern Portage-du-Fort Dam. An impressive amount of concrete was used to dam the Ottawa River at Limerick Island. The impression of the old planks that were used to form the concrete are still visible in the concrete piers that support the roadway. This indicates that this large structure was constructed prior to the post world war II boom, before the time when plywood had gained universal acceptance as a building material.
Voir le nord le long du barrage de Portage-du-Fort. Une somme impressionnante de béton ont été utilisés pour construire le barrage à l'île de Limerick . L'impression des vieilles planches qui ont été utilisés pour former le béton sont toujours visibles dans les piliers de béton qui supportent la chaussée. Ceci indique que cette grande structure a été construite avant l'heure que le contreplaqué obtenu une reconnaissance universelle en tant que matériau de construction. |
