Montgomery Locks and Dam modernization

Deluzio requested $257 million for the Army Corps of Engineers’ Upper Ohio Navigation Project, which would address condition and capacity problems at three Ohio River lock and dam sites.

The project description presents regional economic growth, jobs, and environmental benefits as intended gains.
