| 摘要： | The initial images from Algiers Lock in New Orleans back in the summer, following a July 4 allision, certainly made an impression. Around 6 p.m. that day, the lead barge of a tow entering Algiers Lock from the Mississippi River allided with the canal-end sector gates, denting the north-side sector gate and knocking a 10-foot-wide hole in the south-side gate's steel skin and also damaging that gate's structural steel frame. After initial assessments, lock managers from the New Orleans Engineer District determined there was no damage to the gate's ability to swing open and close, and the lock reopened to navigation the same night as the allision. Emergency repair work, dubbed the "Frankenstein patch"-coupled with drought conditions that kept the hole in the gate above the water line in both the Mississippi River and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW)-allowed New Orleans District officials to keep the lock open to navigation while they applied for $6.4 million to dewater the canal-end gate bay and make permanent repairs. |
