| 摘要： | Crews expected to begin pumping water out from behind a cofferdam within the next few days as the Kentucky Lock Addition Project moved forward.The cofferdam was completed in March. Excavation for the new 110-by-1,200-foot lock-double the length of the existing 110-by-600-foot lock-is past the halfway point, said Zach Langel, project manager for the Nashville Engineer District. The excavation contract is expected to conclude in mid-2022."They're making really good progress with favorable weather," he said.The lock addition is being built landward and adjacent to the existing lock. The Corps is set to meet a major milestone with the awarding of a $250 million contract for the downstream lock monoliths within the next 30 to 60 days."As of now, we're forecasting out to a 2029 completion," Langel said, noting that schedule captures the likelihood of inclement weather and poor site conditions but requires continued full and efficient federal funding from Congress. Any additional funding received as part of a congressional infrastructure package could aid in sequencing the work to allow for a potentially advanced construction pace, he said. |
