Disagreement Over Dam Import Delays in Monongahela Plan
West Virginia projects on Hildebrand Lock and Dam and related Monongahela River work face funding and timing disputes. Steel, coal interests urge early planning funds and faster lock passage to cut transport costs, while Army engineers warn funding must show coal-transport need within a year. Several firms from Weirton to Pittsburgh press for the Monongahela program, citing current railroad car shortages and rising freight costs.
