📸 A Moment Captured on Nov 5, 1929 🕰️
Step into the past with a snapshot of Allegheny River Lock and Dam 7 construction. Amid the majestic walls, witness the commitment and attention to detail of workers shaping this monumental edifice. 🛠️
Initiated in 1928 and concluding in 1931, the structure paved the way for enhanced navigation on the Allegheny River. With its distinct fixed crest dam, it maintains a consistent nine-foot-deep passage upstream. 🌊
More than just a navigation facility, the dam has served as a vital resource for municipalities and industries, providing a consistent water source.
Embark on this historical voyage and appreciate the synergy of dedication and architectural brilliance.
