Excavation began on our @DeltaRegional Ground Hardening Project today! The new concrete slab will be able to support the weight of stacked containers.

Stay tuned for more progress on this exciting project!

The Marine Board of the National Academics of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine chose Paducah, KY for their Spring Meeting.

This highlighted the importance of our region and the inland waterway system.

We were happy to participate in their program.

[KY League of Cities @KyLeagueCities]

It’s National Infrastructure Week. Did you know KY has 8 riverports? They are a valuable transportation resource for the state & important to cities like @CityofOwensboro, @HendersonKY & @PaducahCity. Investing in the vital assets is a great way to #BuildForTomorrow.@PadRiverport

City leaders say riverport upgrades could put Paducah on the map as a landing site for a major employer, which could mean more jobs. @BryceWPSDLocal6 tells us more about the changes being made and two recent grants helping pay for them. https://t.co/kWVK4z2J6H

[Paducah-McCracken County Riverport Authority @PadRiverport]

Be sure to tune into @WPSDLocal6 today at 5 PM and 6 PM to see Bill Miller, our Executive Director, discuss with @BryceWPSDLocal6 the impact that Container on Barge service will have on our regional community! @DOTMARAD @DeltaRegional

The container terminal is similar to what we would like to establish in Paducah! We’re so thankful for this opportunity to learn from our counterparts and share our experiences with new friends!

Our tower crane cab that was heavily damaged by a fire was replaced yesterday by @staffordcrane. We are so grateful for their hard work & quick response to assist us!

Tests will continue today to return the crane to working order as soon as possible!

We began unloading sand for the first time since flood waters delayed operations! To ensure safety, a tug was required to stay alongside the barge.

Sand is vital to construction activities & will be used throughout the region to ensure continued economic growth in our community.

[Paducah-McCracken County Riverport Authority @PadRiverport]

@PaducahCity took down our floodgates today!

We have regained access to our General Cargo Terminal and are preparing for construction activities to begin for our Ground Hardening Project. The project will strengthen the concrete to prepare for Container On Barge!

Stay tuned!
