It is part of a series of dams that canalizes the Monongahela to a depth of at least {{convert|9|ft}} for its entire length from Fairmont, West Virginia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Pittsburgh District. Opekiska has a single lock chamber located on the right-descending river bank. The dam's upper pool extends about {{convert|13|mi}} upstream to the Monongahela's source at Fairmont, West Virginia. The pool also extends up the Monongahela's two primary tributaries, the Tygart Valley River and the West Fork River. Opekiska's {{convert|7.4|mi|adj=on}} downstream pool is formed by Hildebrand Lock and Dam. HistoryConstruction on Opekiska Lock and Dam began in 1961 and was completed in 1964.[1] It replaced old Locks 14 and 15, timber crib structures completed about 1903. Due to cost issues, it was closed to recreational boater use in 2012. See also
