| 摘要： | The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will embark on a pair of simultaneous lock closures August 30 when the Vicksburg District begins maintenance at Lindy C. Boggs Lock and the New Orleans District gets to work at Old River Lock. Lindy C. Boggs Lock is the southernmost lock on the J. Bennett Johnston Waterway, the navigable channel on the Red River that extends from the confluence of Old and Red rivers to Shreveport, La. Old River Lock, part of the Old River Control Structure, allows commercial navigation to pass between the Atchafalaya, Red and Ouachita rivers and the Lower Mississippi River. At Boggs, the Vicksburg District plans a routine maintenance dewatering to conduct repairs, inspect the structure and make plans for future work. Ahead of the closure, the district has worked to repair downstream floating guide wall rails and guide wall timbers. The Vicksburg District will temporarily reopen the lock midway through the closure to allow towboat traffic to move between the Red and Atchafalaya rivers. Lindy C. Boggs Lock will be closed to navigation August 30 through September 28. It will then reopen to navigation from September 28 to October 14. The second closure will run through November 12. |
