  • A downstream view of the Loyalhanna Creek Reservoir Dam looking from the left bank. In response to the damaged incurred from the Great Flood of 1936, Congressman Robert G. Allen of Greensburg requested construction of a dam on the Loyalhanna Creek, 4.5 miles above its confluence with the Conemaugh at Saltsburg. Construction of the combined concrete gravity and earth embankment Loyalhanna Creek Dam commenced in February 1939. The Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company completed the $5.4 million Loyalhanna Dam in June 1942.
