The Kentucky Lock Addition Project is 65 percent complete, having placed 82,000 cubic yards of concrete since January. The project involves constructing a 1,200-foot navigational lock beside an existing 600-foot lock at Tennessee River Mile 22.4 near Grand Rivers, Ky. The Pittsburgh District took over the project in August 2025 from the Nashville Engineer District.
