The Cheatham Lock and Dam on the Cumberland closed for four days due to high water while two ferries, one crossing the Ohio River and one the Lower Mississippi, remain closed. "The Corps' Cumberland River Basin system of reservoirs was well prepared for recent rainfall," said Heather King, a spokeswoman for the Nashville Engineer District. "Our storage reservoirs upstream of Nashville performed as intended by storing water, thereby reducing water levels along the Cumberland River. During the rainfall event, conditions along the Gumberland River were unfavorable for navigation, resulting in the closing of the navigation lock at Cheatham Lock and Dam from February 23 through February 27, 2021. However, the Nashville district provided advanced notice to its navigation partners, mitigating impact and risk. Stages along the Cumberland River remain elevated at this time as we discharge water stored during the rainfall event. Currently there are no additional impacts noted at this time." The Louisville Engineer District reported no major impacts in that district. |
