Lock operators and maintenance workers shovel snow and continue to perform lock operations through wintery conditions at the Emsworth Locks and Dams, operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District on the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, Jan. 8, 2025. The Pittsburgh District operates 23 total locks and dams throughout the year in all weather conditions, including winter, regardless of snow and ice. The facilities provide lockages for approximately 50,000 vessels carrying 140 million tons of commodities annually along 328 miles of navigable waterways. The locks also provide free passage to approximately 22,2000 recreational lockages each year on the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers combined. The Emsworth Locks and Dams facility stands at the head of the Ohio River navigation system and forms a 24-mile pool on the three rivers around the city of Pittsburgh. Not only does Emsworth help create the beautiful vista around Point State Park, its role in maintaining a navigation pool is instrumental to the regional economy. The facility has been in operation since 1921, and it averages about 470 commercial lockages every month. Lock operators and maintenance workers are just two of the many career opportunities the Pittsburgh District offers to 800 employees who specialize in a wide range of disciplines.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
