Notes
  • Significance: The Ohio River navigation is one of the principal waterways of the United States. Improvements were made in the natural waterways by the construction of a whole series of locks and dams. During the 1920s, in response to increased river traffic, all of the locks and dams were to be upgraded or replaced by large modern 600 ft. locks. The Gallipolis locks and dam, completed in 1937, were not only unusual in the use of roller gates but this new location provided the lowest pool for a series of locks and dams on the Great Kanawha River. This engineering work was the first hydraulic structure at this location on the Ohio River. Except for replacement of original electric motors, the addition of partitions in the lock house and routine maintenance of the lock machinery and gates, the structure remains in original condition. This large engineering work is composed of two locks and a gated dam. The locks are located on the West Virginia bank of the river.
