Area gets money for locks and dams in Pittsburgh region
The Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District will receive 140 million dollars in federal stimulus funds to upgrade aging locks and dams and related infrastructure on the Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio rivers. The program is expected to create about 3,000 jobs and save roughly 200 million annually in transportation costs. Much work will be contracted to private firms, with projects including Charleroi locks and the Emsworth dam. Senator Arlen Specter planned to announce the funding in Braddock.
