A towboat locks through the auxiliary chamber at Monongahela River Locks and Dam 4 operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, March 21, 2023.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District operates the facility and has overseen the construction project at Charleroi to improve inland navigation in the region.
The newly constructed chamber is scheduled to fill with water before the summer, and it is planned to go into full operation in 2024.
Construction at Charleroi began in 2004. Once finished, the Charleroi project will cost approximately $1 billion, completed over a span of 20 years.
Once complete, the Pittsburgh District will begin removing the river dam at Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, to create one continuous navigable pool between Charleroi and Braddock, Pennsylvania.
