Cheatham Lock helps fuel Middle Tennessee in wake of pipeline shutdown
The crew of the Motor Vessel Tampa out of Ashland, Kentucky, prepares to depart Cheatham Lock May 21, 2021 with Marathon Petroleum Company fuel barges headed to terminals in Nashville. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District worked with the fuel industry and Regional Rivers Repair Fleet, which is performing maintenance at the lock, to schedule openings to accommodate deliveries of fuel to Middle Tennessee. Each barge carries around 28,000 barrels of fuel. (USACE Photo by Lee Roberts)
