Lock and Dam Number 53 (original) (raw)
Lock and Dam 53 was the 20th lock and dam upstream from the confluence of the Ohio River and the Mississippi River. It was located 962 miles downstream from Pittsburgh. Lock and Dam 53 had two locks for commercial barge traffic, one that was 1,200 feet long by 110 feet wide, the other 600 feet long by 110 feet wide. The lock will be demolished and Olmsted Lock and Dam will replace it. According to the New York Times, in 2015 72.3 million tonnes of cargo transitted the lock, making it the second biggest and most economically important, in the United States, after nearby Lock and Dam Number 52.
