A new, expanded riverside lock chamber at Charleroi, Pa., on the Monongahela River will begin filling with water sometime the week of May 22. "That will be a big milestone for the district and the project," said Stephen Frost, who is overseeing the project for the Pittsburgh Engineer District. "I think we're all looking forward to that." The project at Locks and Dam 4, at Monongahela Mile 41.5, is part of the Lower Mon Project, sometimes referred to as a "mega project" because of its size and scope. About 84 percent of the work on the project is now complete, at a $1.2 billion cost, Frost said. It began with the installation of a new gated dam at Braddock (Locks and Dam 2), replacing the former fixed-crest dam, before work shifted to Charleroi. |
