The complex was built from 1927 to 1933 in conjunction with the construction of the Illinois Waterway, which allowed for barge travel between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River. The lock and dam are also used to regulate water levels on the river between Lockport and Joliet. The lock at the complex is Шаблон:Convert and has four Miter gates, with a 34-foot (10.3 meter) drop. The dam is Шаблон:Convert long and includes concrete and earthen segments. The complex also includes a disused junction lock for the Illinois and Michigan Canal, the control station for the lock, and a modern pump house.[1]

The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Brandon Road Lock and Dam Historic District on March 10, 2004.[2]
