Hannah Hamer, a cement mason apprentice, mixes mortar while Matt Wilson, a laborer, gets ready to work a torch at a construction site for the new river chamber at the Monongahela River Locks and Dam 4 in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, April 12, 2023.
Inland Waterways Users Board (IWUB) members toured the facility during construction.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District hosted the tour and several briefings about ongoing and future inland navigation construction projects within the district.
During the tour, IWUB members learned about the overall Lower Monongahela River navigation project and the new river chamber construction at Charleroi, which is in its final phase after nearly 20 years of construction. Members also listened to a briefing about the overall Upper Ohio navigation project and its first major construction contract, the new Montgomery lock construction.
IWUB is an industry federal advisory committee representing all fuel-taxed inland waterway systems within the United States. The navigation industry contributes to the Inland Waterways Trust Fund through fuel taxes paid by carriers who transport bulk commodities on the inland waterway system. The board makes recommendations to Congress and the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works on how best to invest federal and trust funds dollars to keep the most cost effective, most environmentally friendly, and safest form of transportation for bulk commodities resilient and reliable.
