A
LOOK BACK...
First built in 1905-1911, Lock and Dam No. 37 on the Ohio River
consisted of two large rolling lock gates, and was replaced in 1933 by
an entirely new structure. During periods of high water, both lock and
dam were submerged and the river was navigated as if it did not exist.
At low water it acted as a canal. The huge project was described in
detail in the Jan.-Feb. 1934 issue of The Military Engineer. |
