Ohio River At Olmstead, Illinois

After 30 Years, Locks Primed To Open........

This fall, officials with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are expected to partially open the new lock and dam system on the Ohio River near Olmstead, Illinois.  The plan is to have vessels moving through the Olmstead Locks and Dam in October.

This project has been in the works since 1988.  The project was originally intended to be completed by 2013 at a cost of $775 million.  Later, costs ballooned to over $3 billion.

The cost increase was due to the decision to use "in the wet" construction processes, which involves lowering huge concrete building components into the river rather than using coffer dams, which creates dry space to work.  The coffer dams would have created dangerous water levels for barges along the Ohio River........
