The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will begin this month to install 73 fish reefs in the Monongahela River in southwestern Pennsylvania as part of a $1.23 billion overhaul of the navigational lock and dam system to better accommodate barge traffic. 
Installation of the rock reefs is designed to compensate for the loss of 46 acres of prime fish habitat that will result from the removal of outmoded lock and dam number 3 in Elizabeth next year, according to Stephen Frost, the Corps’ manager of the entire Mon project.
