Large lock closed Jan. 18  from 8 a.m. to noonContact: Patricia Graesser (206) 764-3760 Jan. 16, 2001 SEATTLE--The large lock at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Ballard will be closed for maintenance work from 8 a.m. until noon, Jan. 18, according to the Seattle District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which operates the Locks. The small lock will remain open for boat traffic throughout this period. The small lock can normally accommodate vessels 100 feet in length with 25 foot beams. Anthony Construction will be pouring concrete on the river wall east end. The work is part of a rehabilitation project on the large lock’s east gates. This spring, vessel traffic through the Locks is restricted to vessels 327 feet or shorter from through March 31, 2001, during rehabilitation work. The work restricts large lockages to the west chamber, which can accommodate vessels 327 feet and shorter.
