John T. Myers Locks and Dam, Navigation complex on the Ohio River between Indiana and Kentucky, United States
The John T. Myers Locks and Dam spans 3,504 feet across the Ohio River, featuring two locks of different sizes for commercial and recreational vessels.
Construction of the facility began in 1965 and completed in 1977, replacing the previous Locks and Dam 48 and 49 under the Rivers and Harbors Act.
The facility received its current name in 1996 through an act of Congress, honoring Congressman John T. Myers who served western Indiana for 30 years.
The main lock measures 1,200 feet by 110 feet while the auxiliary lock spans 600 feet by 110 feet, accommodating various vessel sizes on the Ohio River.
Located at river mile 846 from Pittsburgh, the facility manages water levels through a gravity dam system and dual-lock configuration for continuous navigation.
