John Murtha Jr., the son of the late congressman John P. Murtha, Conor Lamb, the board chair of the Port of Pittsburgh Commission, and Austin Davis, the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor, walk together to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the new navigation chamber at the John P. Murtha Locks and Dam on the Monongahela River in Monessen, Pennsylvania, Aug. 28, 2024.
The ceremony celebrated the renaming of Monongahela River Locks and Dam 4 in honor of the late Congressman John P. Murtha, who also served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam. The ceremony highlighted 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.
