TEST LEVEE PAGE
L575 Levee Restoration Information - UPDATED 6/8/19
Background:
The L-575 Benton-Washington-McKissock-Buchanan-Atchison-Hamburg Levee System experienced significant damage during the 2019 Flood Event. This led to seven (7) breaches, along with substantial other damages, occurring throughout the Levee System.
Current Action:
Two priority breaches that are impacting the I-29 corridor have been identified for initial repairs. These two construction contracts were awarded on 14 and 19 Apr 2019. The OSRT is also working an overall plan for rehabilitating the levee system.
Next Steps:
Provide an interim level of flood risk reduction at both initial breach repair locations.
Conduct physical damage assessment when water levels recede and the levees are accessible
Design and construct levee rehabilitation to authorized level of flood risk management.

B-Roll: Drone footage of John P. Murtha Locks and Dam
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District
Dec. 10, 2024 | 1:34
Aerial B-Roll footage of the newly-finished lock chamber at the John P. Murtha Locks and Dam in Monessen, Pennsylvania. Before the renaming, the facility was commonly known as the Charleroi Locks and Dam and officially named the Monongahela River Locks and Dam 4. The lock required 20 years of construction for a modernized chamber measuring 720 feet long by 84 feet wide, which replaces an older, smaller chamber. The construction also included a control tower with state-of-the-art systems and the potential to remote-control other facilities in the future. The new chamber expands the facility’s capacity to support commercial navigation throughout the region and the nation. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District video by GIS Team)
