New Dam Plan Proposed for Ohio River At Dam 39
Government engineers propose a higher new dam across the Ohio River to avoid Madison construction. The 4,500 foot long structure would be 18 feet high with reinforced concrete and steel wickets, creating a navigable pool year round to Dam 39 at Carrollton and deepening the channel to the Kentucky river. The plan claims savings of about 1.06 million dollars and relies on a solid river bed at this site. Work may start in a year pending funds and War Department decision within sixty days. The canal walls and lock dam would also be raised to meet the new stage.
