The Ohio River is part of the new federally designated M-70 "marine highway." To find out what that means -- or so far, hasn't meant -- to the Ohio River, check out this story in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review .
To me, the important part was in the last two paragraphs. I've written about it before, and I hope to write about it again. I will quote the last paragraph:
Although the new federal program is aimed at increasing shipping on waterways, McCarville said his primary concern is figuring out how to "preserve marine traffic we have now, with the condition of our locks and dams."
