Corps Plans Lock and Dam Closures in 2020
USAgNet - 03/20/2019

By packing six closures into a short time frame, Army Corps of Engineers hopes 'to make the negative impact to the navigation industry as small as we can.'

Much of the Illinois River system will be shut down during the summer of 2020 for maintenance and upgrade work on six of the eight locks and dams, reports RFD Radio Network.

"That's a pretty narrow window, but we're going to try to make the negative impact to the navigation industry as small as we can," said Tom Heinold, chief of operations for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Rock Island District.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers currently plans for the closures to occur at the same time between spring flooding and harvest.
