In 1947, the then Ministry of Construction began to build the renewed project and completed it in 1955. Foremen, an international construction team, and Russian specialists were involved in its implementation. The dam was actually the second one built in Bulgaria, after the Rositsa Dam.
During the construction of the Koprinka Dam, the Thracian town of Seuthopolis was excavated and fully explored. The town was located on an area of about 7 hectares. Even in ancient times, a large part of the walls and facilities were destroyed in many places; the town was looted and destroyed centuries ago. Coins, ceramics, implements and an inscription were among the preserved finds, which is a sworn contract between prominent representatives of the Odrysian and Macedonian ruling classes.
