Description

The Montgomery Lock Chamber Project is a major upgrade to the Montgomery Locks and Dam on the Ohio River. It involves replacing the existing auxiliary lock chamber, which accommodates only one barge at a time, with a larger lock capable of handling multiple barges simultaneously. The new lock will be 110 feet by 600 feet, replacing the old 56-foot by 360-foot auxiliary chamber, improving efficiency and capacity for modern commercial vessels. The project is funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and aims to address aging infrastructure and prevent costly closures.
