| 摘要： | For years, I have watched our locks and dams on the inland rivers age and deteriorate. In the late 1950s and early 1960s the Army Corps of Engineers began modernization projects for locks and dams built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These projects took years to complete and there are still a few left that need to be modernized on the upper Ohio River. Unfortunately, these modernized locks are now 60 to 70 years old, and our locks, dams and bridges are in serious need of repair and, for some, complete replacement. A recent Notice to Mariners listed an alarming number of locks and dams that are scheduled to be closed for maintenance. This is serious because it causes major delays in the delivery of materials, fuel, agricultural products, and other important commodities. In the case of a towing vessel with a 15-barge tow, it may mean a delay of two or more days. Such delays are costly. The crew continues to get paid, and the company burns fuel while going nowhere. |
