Transportation experts know that the cheapest way to move bulk goods is by water. So, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has been tasked to monitor the system of dams and locks on the Ohio River. The USACE has focused on a $1.6 billion project to upgrade the Montgomery locks near Pittsburgh. Because of the complexity of the project and the need to keep river traffic flowing during construction, the job will take eight years to finish. The Corps of Engineers team is led by Chris Dening, manager of the job, and Jenna Cunningham, resident engineer. Companies rely on the river to deliver unpackaged materials like coal, rock steel, petroleum and chemicals. When the project is completed, see LOCKS page 50
