The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says the Buckeye Lake dam replacement project will be completed in the fall of 2018, one year ahead of schedule. The 110 million dollar project replaces the nearly 200-year-old earthen dam that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says is at significant risk of catastrophic failure.
