5. The iconic catwalk in Grand Haven will return to its former home over the south pier this summer.
The Grand Haven Tribune reports the reinstallation will begin in May. The city removed the century-old catwalk in 2016 before the Army Corps of Engineers began a $2.1 million project to rebuild the pier.
The south pier reopened last August after being delayed by record high water levels in Lake Michigan.
Officials have suggested a community celebration may be in order when the project is completed this summer.
