Trends: How We Move Things … 6

The Trouble with Aging The 12,000 miles of our navigable inland waterways system touch 38 states and carry approximately 565 million tons of freight annually. The 242 locks and dams are maintained and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The oldest of these, the Elizabeth Lock and Dam (L/D#3) in Pittsburgh, opened to traffic in 1906, but most were built in the 1930s and ‘40s. The aging infrastructure as a whole is in critical need of modernization, without which the inland waterways system will cease to provide reliable freight transportation capacity.
