摘要：	Work at Brandon Road Lock and Dam on the Illinois Waterway will include a restriction period and partial closure beginning next month and a full closure for three weeks in the late summer along with an extended closure next year at four locks along the waterway. During the restriction period and partial closure, traffic will pass under a 70-foot width restriction from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. only May 9-August 14 at Brandon Road, according to the Rock Island District. The full closure this year will be August 15-September 4 at Brandon Road, with the final restriction period and partial closure taking place there September 5-8. The Illinois Waterway, which provides a navigable connection between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River, in- cludes eight lock and dam sites, each with a single lock for passing vessel traffic. To facilitate repairs at the aging locks and dams, the Corps developed a consolidated repair schedule in collaboration with industry that included a short closure to locks in 2019 followed by two extended closures in 2020 and 2023. The closures were scheduled to take place at multiple locks simultaneously to lessen the impact to commercial navigation.
