摘要：	With more than 97 percent of the Pittsburgh Engineer Districts funding in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) allocated to the full funding of the Montgomery locks construction work, developers say it will prevent delays and cost overruns while ensuring continued navigability for decades to come. The Corps of Engineers released its work plan in January. Among other priorities, it outlined which infrastructure projects along the inland waterways will be funded by the money Congress approved in the bipartisan bill, signed into law in November. The Pittsburgh Engineer District received $881.9 million in supplemental funding, nearly one-third of the amount in the bill targeted for inland waterways around the nation. Although the funding supports 11 different district projects, including work at several multipurpose reservoirs, the overwhelming bulk of it- $857.7 million-goes to fully funding the design and construction of the new lock at Mongomery Locks and Dam in Monaca, Beaver County, Pa. In fact, the Montgomery Locks and Dam was the district's only navigation project specified by the IIJA work plan to receive construction funding.
