Traffic on Ohio River to be resumed today
The Ohio River is set to reopen for commercial traffic today after a 16 day delay caused by ice jammed locks at Markland Dam. A gasoline laden eight barge tow wedged in the dam's main lock faced removal risks as two spills occurred this week. About 1.1 million gallons of gasoline were pumped off to lighten the tow and aid freeing efforts.
