| 摘要： | Extensive work, including dewatering the main chamber, is scheduled to begin February 23 at Wilson Lock and Dam on the Tennessee River after about two years of planning. The closure is scheduled for 6 a.m. February 23. The chamber will temporarily open at 6 a.m. March 18 to aid in clearing the queue but will close again on March 24 through April 29, said Meagan Simpson, maintenance section chief for the Nashville Engineer District. Wilson's auxiliary chambers will be in operation throughout the closure. Because of the high lift at Wilson, it takes two chambers to complete the locking process, and each auxiliary chamber can hold only one barge at a time. "So it takes significantly more time to lock through the auxiliary than it does the main," Simpson said. The work could be particularly impactful for navigation traffic headed to or from major nearby cities, including Decatur, Guntersville and Chattanooga. Wilson Lock and Dam is located at Mile 259.4 of the Tennessee River, at Florence, Ala. |
