Wolf Creek Dam Turns 75 with Major Upgrades | Lexington News

Lake Cumberland’s Wolf Creek Dam turns 75—and it’s getting a major upgrade! Standing 258 feet tall and over a mile long, this engineering marvel is undergoing critical spillway gate repairs to ensure its safety and longevity. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, proud stewards of this historic structure, temporarily shut down both lanes of U.S. Highway 127 Wednesday, Sept. 2, from 8 AM to 4 PM, to complete the work. This vital maintenance keeps the dam serving communities for generations to come. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
