Work On Greenup Locks And Dam Set For June

{Lloyd, Kentucky}...The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers say work to replace a set of aging mite gates at the Greenup Locks and Dam on the Ohio River will begin in June. The $12 million project will replace a set of hydraulic doors and will close down the 1,200-foot-long main lock chamber on the Ohio River between Greenup County, Kentucky and Lawrence County, Ohio for about 12 weeks. The Greenup Locks and Dam is one of the country's 10 busiest inland navigation locks.
