| 摘要： | After another weekend of rain, water continues to slowly drain southward from the area around Bayou Sorrel Lock on the Port Allen Alternate Route of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) in Louisiana. With more than 30 inches of rain falling in the area surrounding Bayou Sorrel in the past two months, the lock has been closed since May 17 due to high water. As of June 8, the landside gage at Bayou Sorrel Lock read 7.35 feet, virtually unchanged in a week due to rain the weekend prior. For the lock to reopen to navigation, the landside water level at the lock has to drop below 6.9 feet. Operators and residents in the area have blamed persistent flooding and slow rate of fall, in part, on sediment levels just below the lock and in the unnavigable east access channel that bypasses the lock. The Alternate Route leads from Port Allen Lock at the Mississippi River across from Baton Rouge southward, through Bayou Sorrel Lock, to Morgan City, where it connects with the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. |
