The lockmaster at Lindy C. Boggs Lock and Dam, also known as Lock 1, on the Red River near Marksville, La., discovered a crack in the miter gate anchorage on the lower land-side gate on September 28. Shortly thereafter, lock personnel took action to lower the water level in the lock to reduce pressure on the gate, and the U.S. Coast Guard announced the closure of the lock to navigation, pending repairs. In the days that followed, Vicksburg Engineer District personnel have developed and executed a temporary repair to support the gate, minimize fur- ther damage and allow navigation to resume. In a situation report from the evening of October 8, the district announced the completion of interim repairs, with the lock to reopen the following morning. |
