OLMSTED DAM PROJECT TO CREATE 250 JOBS BY KEVIN MCKELVEY
The Olmsted Locks and Dam construction project is set to hire about 250 local operators, carpenters, iron workers and laborers, as work begins on the construction of the dam itself.
After the first year, the project will need only 50 to 75 craftsmen. Many of the jobs will be seasonal, since work can only be done in the river during the low-water months, June to November.
The Army Corps of Engineers recently awarded the $564 million contract to build the dam to the Washington Group of Boise, Idaho and to Alberici Construction of St. Louis. The entire project, including the demolition of Locks and Dam 52 and 53, is expected to be finished by 2014.------------------------------------------- posted 6:49 AM :: reference link ::
