The Dalles Dam navigation lock to close briefly
PORTLAND, Ore. — The navigation lock at the The Dalles Dam will close to river traffic on Thursday, Sept. 25 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. to allow divers to remove structural steel debris from the downstream navigation lock approach channel, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced today.
The Dalles Lock and Dam visitor center will remain open during the lock closure. The visitor center is located at Seufert Park on the Oregon shore off exit 87 of Interstate 84.
The Dalles Lock and Dam is located 192 miles upstream from the mouth of the Columbia River, two miles east of the city of The Dalles, Ore. The dam extends 1.5 miles from the Oregon shore to the navigation lock on the Washington shore.
