Named for US Army Captain Benjamin Bonneville, the man who charted much of the Oregon Trail, Bonneville Dam and Lock is located 40 miles (64 km) east of Portland, Oregon, in the Columbia River Gorge.
The Bonneville Dam is located on the Columbian River, it is found between the Oregon river and the Washington River. The river was dammed in 1896, it is owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Bonneville Dam was created in 1937.
Not positive, but I believe that the total cost of the Bonneville Dam was $88.4 million.

A wier is a way to have a road cross a stream or wash. It also acts likes a dam, because it is raised a little above the water level, thereby limiting the flow of water past the point.

A by-wash is an outlet from a dam or a reservoir, or a cut to divert the flow of water.
The first one is the Bonneville Dam but, the main one is the Grand Coulee Dam
