U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District Chickamauga Lock team and district leaders, provided a status update on the Chickamauga Lock Replacement construction project to Maj. Gen. Jason. Kelly, USACE Deputy Commanding General for Civil Works and Emergency Operations, during a tour of the project in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Nov. 13, 2024. Gen. Kelly’s visit is part of a district-wide tour aimed at understanding the operational challenges and capabilities of key Corps infrastructure projects.
The Chickamauga Lock Replacement Project includes the design and construction of a new 110-foot by 600-foot navigation lock. The new lock is required because of structural deficiencies resulting from physical expansion of the concrete structure in the existing lock.
As USACE officials guided the tour, they pointed out differences in the current lock, the capabilities of the new lock and how it will reduce commercial lockage times by 80 percent. They also highlighted areas where maintenance had been performed on the current lock to continue to try to extend the lifespan of the aging infrastructure.
