Navigation Notice 23-46: Mooring cell out of service upstream of Eggners Ferry Highway Bridge

The downstream most mooring cell at Tennessee River mile 43.6 just downstream of the Eggners Ferry Highway Bridge is damaged and out of service. A recent inspection revealed it has lost some of its stabilizing fill to support use. Vessels can still use the upstream most cell provided no contact is made with the downstream cell. Call Caleb Skinner, area lockmaster at Kentucky Lock, at 270-362-4226 for more information.
