LOUISVILLE, Ky. --

Due to scheduled maintenance and repairs, the 1200-foot primary chamber at Cannelton Locks and Dam on the Ohio River in Cannelton, Ind., will be closed from July 5 through Nov. 11, 2022, to allow replacement of the miter gates. During this closure, all traffic will utilize the 600-foot auxiliary chamber.

All mariners should take direction from the lock operators at Cannelton Locks and Dam, who can be reached on channel 13 or by calling (812) 547-2962.

This temporary closure will allow the Regional Rivers Repair Fleet’s heavy capacity fleet to replace the miter gates and related equipment on each end of the primary chamber to increase reliability and efficiency on the inland waterways system.
