That money went toward the repair of the main loading dock to improve safety and prevent issues caused by corrosion of the steel components. The project replaced eroded dock tieback rods, installed new whalers and steel plates on the dock, grouting to fill voids, and installed new precast concrete fenders.
In 2020, the Eddyville Riverport received $109,890 toward the repair of erosion on banks that supported a boat lift near a boat repair bay.
