129-year-old Great Lakes light tower to be removed due to ‘imminent safety risk’

A 129-year-old light tower located on the Great Lakes is set to be removed because of an imminent safety risk. The 42-foot structure is currently in danger of collapsing into Lake Superior. This critical instability is the direct result of ongoing shoreline erosion and significant storm damage. Authorities have determined that the tower's current condition poses a hazard, necessitating its removal to prevent an uncontrolled collapse into the surrounding waters of the Great Lakes region.
