First Linkin Inland Waterways Chain Completed
The long planned inland waterways effort reaches a milestone with the completion of a nine foot channel along the Ohio from Pittsburgh to Cairo, marking a major step in Hoover era plans for a 12,000 mile interconnected system linking Gulf ports to the Great Lakes. The ceremony in Pittsburgh will be followed by dedications in Cincinnati and Illinois with Hoover presiding.
