Construction of Lock 10 was let under contract number 8, which also included the building of Lock E9. Excavation work began on October 3, 1906. This work was carried on during the fall of 1906, but was discontinued for the winter. A small amount of embankment was done at the upper end of the guidewall during the fall. Excavation work was taken up again April 11, 1907 and was continued until September 3, 1907, when the excavation for the lock and guide-walls and a section of the dam, including the south pier, was completed.
