Submitted by admin on Tue, 03/11/2025 - 14:37

The outside of the miter gates leading into the lock chamber. There are flat, circular formations of ice on the water caused by bubbling. Bubbler systems are used to pump temperature-controlled water to keep the ice from forming on the gates.

(Left) A large crane fixed to a floating barge used to transfer supplies from one area to the next. Using a crane to efficiently move supplies and tools from one side of the lock to the next, rather that moving it by foot or cart all the way around the lock. The crane is also used to break up ice formation for traveling purposes during the off season. Each barge has a different rated capacity for what it can lift, and the barge itself can dictate what weight the machine can bear because the barge can list.

A look at part of the anchorage and concrete work being done at Lock and Dam 9 near Lynxville. (Photos by Steve Van Kooten)
