Newburgh Lock and Dam, Lock and gravity dam on Ohio River, Henderson County, United States
The Newburgh Lock and Dam stretches 2,275 feet across the Ohio River, featuring two locks for commercial and recreational vessel passage.
Construction of this engineering structure began in June 1966 and reached completion in 1975, replacing the older locks and dams 46 and 47.
The facility maintains water levels essential for regional transportation, connecting communities along the Ohio River through maritime commerce.
The main lock measures 1,200 feet in length and 110 feet in width, while the auxiliary lock spans 600 feet by 110 feet.
Nine Tainter gates regulate the water flow, creating a reservoir with a normal elevation of 358 feet above sea level.
