Kentucky Lock will be closed January 31-February 24 to make repairs from where a tow ran into and damaged the upper miter gates in October. "When the tow was making their approach to the lock, they went too far downstream into the lock approach and made contact with both upstream miter gates," lockmaster Caleb Skinner said. One miter gate of the lock at Tennessee River Mile 22 was repaired during a scheduled closure November 1-Decem-ber 10. "We were able to save industry and our users quite a bit of downtime to get both jobs done at the same time," Skinner said. "It wasn't possible to get both gates done at the same time, so we need an additional closure." The work will include cutting out the damaged structural members of the miter gate leaf and the skin plate, welding new metal in place and recoating the metal. |
