Current Chickamauga Lock construction includes completion of the cofferdam, and off-site fabrication of the miter gates, culvert valves, culvert bulkheads and approach wall beams.  The cofferdam is substantially complete and the contract will be closed out soon.  The cofferdam, which can be seen from adjacent roadways as drivers pass by, will be used to provide a "dry" area for construction of the new lock walls and chamber.  The miter gates, culvert valves and culvert bulkheads are substantially complete and that contract will also be closed out soon.  These items will be stored at Muscle Shoals until needed to complete construction of the lock.  The approach wall beams will be completed in May 2013, and will be stored at Watts Bar until needed to complete construction of the lock.  At that time, this contract will also be closed out, finishing the work performed on the new lock using ARRA funds.  The project is not in the FY13 Budget, and without additional funding, no further construction will take place.  The project will be placed in a mothball status until funding becomes available to continue construction.
