摘要：	Stressing the need for full and efficient funding for lock construction, Waterways Council Inc. hosted members of the media on a tour of Pittsburgh area projects August 9-11. The tour, conducted in cooperation with Campbell Transportation Company, the Port of Pittsburgh Commission, the Corps of Engineers, American Consolidated Natural Resources (ACNR) Towing, the Waterways Association of Pittsburgh and others, began with a ride on a Campbell Transportation Company towboat the mv. Darrell L. It included a 12-mile roundtrip from the point where the Lower Monongahela and Allegheny rivers form the head of the Ohio River in downtown Pittsburgh, passing through the auxiliary chamber at Emsworth Locks and Dam (Ohio River Mile 6.2) both downbound and upbound. Emsworth is part of the Upper Ohio Navigation Project, for which Corps of- ficials broke ground on August 11 at Montgomery Locks and Dam (Mile 13.7) on August 11, with tour participants also attending that event. The Upper Ohio Navigation Project involves replacing existing 360- by 56-foot auxiliary lock chambers with new 600- by 110-foot chambers at Emsworth, Montgomery and Dashields (Mile 13.3) locks. The new chambers will then be the same size as the existing main chambers at each project.
