| 摘要： | Col. Stephen Murphy, commander of the New Orleans Engineer District, officially announced June 8 his decision to push the pending closure of Old River Lock to August 30, two weeks later than the originally scheduled date of August 15. The move comes after representatives from the agriculture industry raised concerns over how the timing of the closure would have a negative economic impact on farmers and domestic shippers who depend on Old River Lock to get agricultural commodities from north Louisiana and Arkansas to grain elevators on the Mississippi River and, in turn, exported to world markets. Consequently, the Vicksburg Engineer District will shift its planned closure of Lindy C. Boggs Lock, the first lock on the Red River nearest to the Mississippi, back two weeks to begin on August 30 as well. The Vicksburg and New Orleans districts have been coordinating the two closures for years, with Vicksburg planning to close Red River Lock 1 for a month, reopen for two weeks to allow vessel traffic to catch up, then close again for another month. |
