Both chambers at Mehldahl Locks and Dam at Ohio River Mile 436.2 are closing for eight hours daily through September 1 to replace the motor control process. "We're repowering, replacing old power cables and breakers in the main operations building," said Domenico Chianesi, navigation operations manager for the Huntington Engineer District. "They're in the process of changing out the old with the new. When they do that, they have to shut down the complete power to the facility." The 1,200- and 600-foot chambers are closing for up to eight hours a day, although the time may vary with that closure taking place any time between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. seven days a week. At no later than 5 p.m., both chambers will reopen to traffic, according to the navigation notice signed by Kent C. Browning, chief of the Technical Support Branch. |
