Army Corps band of brother divers repairs locks, dams in Western Pennsylvania

Army Corps of Engineer divers Joshua Lesch (left) and Mark Klemz put on equipment on Wednesday May 27, 2020, before working on the Maxwell lock and dam in East Millsboro, Fayette County.

Thirty-one feet below the surface with near zero visibility, a small group of divers are doing painstaking work at the bottom of the Monongahela River to replace rusty bars and beams on 14-foot-high intakes that feed water into locks at a dam near Brownsville.
