The McAlpine Locks and Dam are a set of locks and a hydroelectric dam at the Falls of the Ohio River at Louisville, Kentucky. They are located at mile point 606.8, and control a 72.9 miles (117.3 km) long navigation pool. The locks and their associated canal were the first major engineering project on the Ohio River, completed in 1830 as the Louisville and Portland Canal, designed to allow shipping traffic to navigate through the Falls of the Ohio.

  • McAlpine Locks und Dam ist die zusammenfassende Bezeichnung für die wassertechnischen Bauwerke am Ohio River in den USA im Bereich seiner zwischen Louisville/Kentucky (links) und Jefferson/Indiana (rechts) befindlichen Stromschnellen. Außer zwei Schiffsschleusen (maximale Fallhöhe 7,9 m) mit am linken Flussufer errichtetem, etwa 2,5 km langen Kanal (Louisville and Portland Canal) und einem Staudamm gehört dazu ein Wasserkraftwerk (Leistung etwa 108 MW). Der vom linken Ufer ausgehende Damm wendet sich beim Kraftwerk in etwa Flussmitte nach stromaufwärts und erst nach etwa 2 km zurück bzw. zum rechten Ufer. Der linke Teil der Stromschnellen wird überstaut, während ihr fast gesamter rechter Teil in ursprünglichem Zustand belassen ist. Der am rechten Ufer befindliche Dammteil enthält einige Se (de)
