The approaches to the dam's gates will be reshaped like funnels to handle more water. Crews also plan to build new emergency spillways.Diehl said the improvements will make the dam capable of holding more than twice the amount of water as before.The breach in the lake on June 9 sent water rushing to the Wisconsin River, destroying five home and a portion of a nearby highway.
