As part of ongoing efforts to reduce dam safety risks, USACE awarded a $320 million base contract to Thalle-Bauer LLC of Hillsborough, North Carolina, on Dec. 18, 2025, for Phase 2 of the Rough River Dam Safety Modification Project. Phase 2, which is expected to take 6-7 years, includes construction of a new outlet works and a full-depth cutoff wall across the dam, and will provide permanent risk reduction to communities downstream.

Rough River Lake Dam went into operation in 1959 and helps to reduce flood damages along approximately 89 miles of the Rough River, 71 miles on the Green River, and to a lesser extent on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Flood risk management is the project’s primary purpose, but the dam also provides water supply to nearby communities, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation.
