摘要：	Most southbound traffic on the Cumberland River between Barkley Lock and Dam and the Ohio River was halted for close to a week after a barge filled with rocks ran aground and sank March 18 at Mile 2.6, just downriver from Smithland, Ky. The channel was expected to reopen March 27. Until then, only light-boat southbound traffic was permitted by the Coast Guard. Northbound traffic was unaffected. The mv. Lemont Trader was on-site and available on channels 16 or 21 to make passing arrangements. The Lemont Trader, owned by Canal Barge Company, was downbound pushing 10 loaded rock barges when the starboard lead barge ran aground, said Steven Leighty, public affairs officer for Sector Ohio Valley in Louisville, Ky. The incident took place at 3:45 a.m. March 18. "This barge ran up onto the bank, and since it was carrying a lot of rock, the barge fractured," said Lt. Timothy Veaeh, chief of waterways management for Marine Safety Unit Paducah, which is handling the investigation.
