Presentations by the Corps of Engineers at the April 13 meeting of the Inland Waterways Users Board in Pittsburgh, Pa., laid out a tale of delays and cost increases on ongoing lock and dam projects-including some that were declared to be "fully funded" just a short time ago but will now need additional funds. A presentation by Kevin Jasper, chief of the Integrated Project Office of the Nashville Engineer District, laid out reasons for delays in the comple- tion of the Chickamauga Lock Replacement Project, which was authorized in 2003 and reauthorized in 2018. The total project cost estimate is now $954,396,000. About 2-1/2 years have been added to the lock operation date, and three years have been added to the original target project completion date. An additional $237 million is required to fully fund the project to current cost estimates, Jasper said. |
