| 摘要： | Construction began April 12 on a $2 million dock addition at the Owensboro (Ky.) Riverport Authority. The 200-foot cargo dock is being built on the mooring line at the 377-foot elevation on the Ohio River at Mile 759. It is being constructed of sheet piles with a poured concrete surface. The dock's construction will ensure that during normal pool, the port has access to two docks for loading and unloading. Previously, the port had a lower elevation road that was inaccessible to vehicles once the river reached 28 feet. For the past three to five years, that has meant high water has made it inaccessible roughly 20 percent of the year. The collapse of a section of an aged re- taining wall along the lower port access road presented the opportunity to shore the wall up and build it back to an elevation 8 feet higher, as well as adding 24-inch thick concrete at its base. That initial phase of the project was completed last year. |
