Illinois Waterway: River Blockage for Steel Erection at Mile 282.5

For the new Houbolt Road Bridge, mile 282.5, Illinois Waterway, steel erection utilizing a strand jack lift system over the center of the navigation channel will require two 12-hour blockages of the channel scheduled for the week of July 11, 2022 (exact date TBD).  However, these evolutions will coincide with the daily restriction/partial closure (from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.) of Brandon Road Lock and Dam.

Anticipate a second steel erection window scheduled for mid-August, 2022.

If you should have any questions, please advise.
