Ice breaking operations began early Monday to assist contractors working on the installation of a new seawall along the Black River in Port Huron.

Ice breaking is expected to end on Feb. 4, according to a press release from the city. There will be open water on the Black River from the Seventh Street Bridge to the St. Clair River.

City Manager James Freed has said the project, including reconstructing much of the adjacent West Quay Street parking lot, is roughly 45 feet into replacing a 105-foot seawall.
