| 摘要： | While issues with the main chamber at Meldahl Locks and Dam have led to it being closed indefinitely, the auxiliary chamber opened earlier than expected to help ease congestion. The auxiliary chamber at the lock, Ohio River Mile 436.2, was dewatered this summer to inspect it and complete repairs prior to a scheduled closure of the main chamber for five months in 2025. While some cracking in the auxiliary chamber's miter gate was expected, crews found more cracking than anticipated, along with steel plates that needed to be replaced. There was not origi- nally enough time in the schedule for the Regional Repair Fleet to complete the repairs in July, so the Corps said in September that it would be closed into 2024. Although it was rewatered, the plan was to use the auxiliary chamber only for locking debris during high water or ice in the winter or on an emergency basis. |
