Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, Artificial waterway between Tennessee and Tombigbee Rivers in Alabama and Mississippi, United States.
The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway extends 234 miles through multiple sections, featuring ten locks and dams that regulate water flow for navigation purposes.
Construction of this major waterway project commenced in 1972 and reached completion in 1984, requiring an investment of approximately two billion dollars.
The waterway has transformed regional transportation patterns, connecting communities along its route and establishing new centers for commerce and recreation.
Visitors can access numerous facilities including boat ramps, camping grounds, and recreational areas spread across 110,000 acres of maintained waterway territory.
The waterway required excavation of a 175-foot deep cut between watersheds, making it one of the largest earth-moving projects in United States history.
