The U S Army Corps of Engineers weighs a shift to a traditional construction method for the Olmsted Dam on the Ohio River as costs climb to nearly 3 billion dollars. The project, replacing older locks and dams between Ballard County Kentucky and Pulaski County Illinois, is over a decade behind schedule after twin locks were finished in 2002.

Olmsted project faces delays and budget concerns in Ohio River work
Col Luke Leonard oversees the Louisville district handling the Olmsted project and defends it. He notes cost increases were documented and corps headquarters ordered improvements that may speed completion and reduce costs. The river segment moves about 90 billion tons of goods annually, and a decision is due later this year on continuing the wet construction method or returning to cofferdams and dry riverbed work. Leonard says direction will come after review.
