The proposed action consists of constructing a temporary 110 x 1,200-foot lock at existing Lock and Dam 53 for the purpose of alleviating traffic congestion on the lower Ohio River until a more permanent solution can be implemented. The 1,200-foot lock would be used in conjunction with the existing 600-foot lock. Alleviation of a serious traffic problem at Lock 53 provides efficient and safe passage for river traffic.
