| 摘要： | The St. Louis Engineer District temporarily closed the 1,200-foot main chamber at Melvin Price Locks and Dam in Alton, Ill., August 1 to all commercial and recreational traffic after a crack was discovered on one of the lock chamber's lift gates during an inspection after an allision. St. Louis District spokesman George Stringham said the allision, by a lead barge in a 15-barge tow, was classified as "minor," and it was not clear whether the allision itself had anything to do with the crack. As of August 2, there was one upbound and one down-bound tow waiting for lockage, both of 15 barges. Corps personnel were working on the repair. Repairs to the main chamber lift gate were estimated to be completed by Saturday, August 5. The 600-foot auxiliary chamber remained open and available for lockages as needed. |
