Lock and Dam Number 52, Navigation complex on Ohio River, United States
Lock and Dam Number 52 contained two locks for commercial traffic, measuring 1200 feet by 110 feet and 600 feet by 110 feet respectively.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers constructed this lock and dam complex in 1929, operating it until its demolition between 2019 and 2020.
The facility represented an essential component of the Ohio River navigation system, facilitating commercial transportation between Pittsburgh and the Mississippi River.
The lock complex processed over 80 million tonnes of cargo annually, making it one of the most economically vital waterway points in the United States.
The Olmsted Lock and Dam, completed in 2018 at a cost of 2.9 billion dollars, replaced this aging infrastructure after years of delays.
