| 摘要： | Federal and local elected officials from Iowa and Illinois, media and guests got the rare opportunity to stand on Mississippi River Bedrock and see (and, for some, crawl into) the inner workings of Upper Mississippi River Lock 15 in Rock Island, Ill. Three sessions on January 26 and 27 afforded the rare view amid frigid temperatures and high spirits, in the wake of the announcement of the Corps FY 2023 work plan under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), released on January 19. "Dewatering is one of the only times we can actually visually see what's going on below the water line," said Matt Thurman, chief of the maintenance section for the Rock Island Engineer District's Mississippi River Project. "Once the chamber is dewatered, our teams of engineers and professionals inspect the entire site just to see how things are performing." Gate and concrete inspection are already underway. Bubbler pipes will be replaced to ensure unimpeded gate movements. The entire project will take about six weeks. The nearly $4 million project is funded through the Corps' operations and maintenance account. |
