Justin Murphree, operations project manager for the Mobile Engineer District's Tennessee-Tombig-bee Waterway, hosted a conference call April 5 with waterway stakeholders to outline a pair of lock closures planned for later this year and to gather input for when to schedule the work. The maintenance closures will take place at Glover Wilkins Lock near Smithville, Miss., and at the next lock below that, Thad Cochran Lock, in Amory, Miss. Work at both locks, Murphree said, will be pretty standard, with inspections, sandblasting and painting, gate painting and crack repair planned. At Wilkins, work will include resurfacing miter and quoin blocks, while at Cochran Lock, the Corps will need to replace the blocks at the lower end of the lock. |
