A dredge launches near Robert S. Kerr Lock and Dam on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation system Sept. 9, 1969.
Construction on this project began in April 1964. By 1969, dredges like this one were hard at work, helping shape the channel and prepare the site for completion. Closure for the project occurred in October 1970 and the lock and dam became operational for navigation in December 1970. More than 50 years later, this project is still going strong supporting navigation, hydropower and the nation's economy.
Projects like this underscore why continued investment in infrastructure is essential, ensuring systems built decades ago remain reliable, resilient and ready to meet today’s demands. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo)
