I contacted a friend of mine that lives on Dunlap, water front property. They told me that ground break on dam construction will begin April 29, 2021.
Normal weather projection for completion is 24 months.

The ramp at lake wood was at a GBRA park and you had to pay a fee to use the ramp! I think that was the only ramp for lake Wood also. As for Dunlap, I got a feeling that it will be awhile before the lake starts filling up again. I hope I am wrong!  Actually there was a free TXDoT ramp up the river above Lake Wood. It was at Cost, behind the monument to the First Shot of the Texas Revolution. It was about a five minute run to the head of Lake Wood. What's a shame is, a year or two before the dam failed, GBRA built a new ramp that was a sweet ramp.

Got this update from my friend with the house on Dunlap.
โWell as we speak things have already changed.
Apparently they will not be breaking ground on the 29th and the lawsuit is still pending.
Someone on the water district board jumped the gun and announced things that were not yet ready to be announced.โ

No, but last I heard they drained the lake prepping for it!
It's not what a man knows that bothers me. It's what a man "KNOWS" that ain't necessairly so that has me conserned.

Lake Wood is gone forever. GBRA wants Gonzales County to come up with $56 MILLION to repair Lake Wood and Lake Gonzales dams and then just turn it over to GBRA to own and not maintain till the next failure. I really feel bad for the homeowners but you'd have to be dumb as a box of rocks to agree to that deal. That's one of those sweet "All of the Profits, None of the Obligations" type of deals. Not to mention the Gonzales County tax payers picking up the bill so lakeside property owners can enjoy their waterfront property. There is always another side to that coin! Just an FYI. I live on Dunlap and believe we volunteered dollars way too early but like Dunlap. I believe Lake Wood had a public boat ramp anyone could use so everyone in the county and beyond would and could benefit. GBRA is to blame for this entire mess for not maintaining the lakes and dams since 1963. GBRA is the state of Texas regardless of declaring themselves a "subdivision of the state of Texas". The General Manager of GBRA is appointed by the Governor. GBRA contributes to 5 non profits where many of GBRA managers sit on the boards of these non profits. Dam construction has not started since the low bidder (by $2m) has filed suit against the second low bidder and GBRA. GBRA submitted a request for summary judgement last week so it is now in a judges hands. If this goes to court, it will take some time to get to the case due to the backlog from COVID. We will see. All of this sorta sounds like ERCOT. Both of these are around to maintain something and neither did. Then when the !@#$ hit the fan, neither think they are responsible. That's a great deal.

The lake is at the same level it has been since the dam failure. There was a town hall meeting last night that we did not attend. A private ground breaking has taken place and apparently, a coffer dam is going to be built in front of the existing dam in the coming weeks and construction will really pick up the pace.
There is no new information that I am aware of concerning the low bidder and the lawsuit against HB Zachry and the GBRA. All is quiet on the Sutter lawsuit against GBRA also.
