Completed John Day Lock And Dam (Engineer recruitment program) Item Info

Looking downstream on the Columbia River, with Mount Hood in the background, is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers John Day Lock and Dam. Work on the South or left shore, being carried on behind the 25-acre cofferdam enclosed work area, is nearing the 45 percent completion mark. Here the powerhouse and powerhouse intake section is being constructed, with a total of 578,000 cubic yards of concrete having been placed to date. Meanwhile, the entire flow of the Columbia River is being diverted through the 18 spillway bays while barge navigation is maintained through the North Shore navigation lock by use of a temporary channel feeding into the lock from upstream.
