Summary edit

Description

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Divers with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District plunge into the Savannah River to inspect the New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam, May 13, 2014. This was the first dive inspection performed on the aging structure since 1999. The divers assessed continuing erosion under the riverside lock wall, which has exposed supporting timber piles making them vulnerable to water damage and decay. USACE photo by Scott Hyatt.

The Corps will close public access to the structure and cease operation of the lock effective May 15, 2014 due to safety concerns with the '30s-era structure. The New Savannah Bluff Lock & Dam originally opened in 1939 to aid navigation between Savannah and Augusta. No regular commercial traffic has used the river since 1978. Other than pleasure craft, only very limited special-use barge traffic has used the river since. The Savannah District ended maintenance of the river for navigation above Savannah in 1979.
