Vast Dam Program Modernizes Ohio River System
Army Engineers launch a 73.6 million dollar Ohio River dam at Markland Indiana, the third in a planned 21 to be started within 18 months, part of a 20 year, billion dollar effort to replace aging locks with 1200 by 600 foot chambers. Groundbreaking at four sites features leaders from government and industry with OVIA sponsorship, as Ohio Valley commerce seeks improved tonnage and regional growth.
