摘要：	One lock closure on the Illinois Waterway is complete with another just starting during daylight hours certain days, causing impacts to navigation within the region.Both the work completed the first week of September to install bulkhead slots at Brandon Road Lock and Dam and a research project taking place at Peoria Lock and Dam from late Au-gust through October 7 to try to prevent the spread of invasive carp are steps to prepare for more major work along the waterway in future years.Work at multiple locks along the waterway was completed between July 1 and October 29, 2020. The next series of consolidated closures is scheduled between June 1 and September 30, 2023.Additionally, a short closure will be necessary at Lockport in 2024 as although new lift gates are being fabricated, they will not be ready until that time, said Tom Heinold, chief of operations for the Rock Island Engineer District.Unlike the Upper Mississippi, the Illinois Waterway operates year-round, so there is no seasonal closure to complete maintenance work.
