Work crews successfully remove the first massive spillway gate from Wolf Creek Dam July 23, 2025, on the Cumberland River in Jamestown, Kentucky. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District and its contractor, American Bridge Company, hoisted the 37-feet high by 50-feet wide gate and placed it on a work barge on Lake Cumberland. This action signals the modernization of the dam's infrastructure, replacing all 10 original tainter gates and lifting equipment that have been in continuous operation since 1952.
