Date: 09/19/2022 17:29 thru 09/23/2023 17:29

Kentucky Lock has a series of mooring cells immediately upstream of the short bull nose of the lock chamber. It was recently discovered that Federal Mooring Cell #3 upstream of the lock has been punctured and has lost all gravel fill that keeps the metal bands intact. It has been determined this mooring cell is unfit for use.

All vessels, both upbound and downbound, are asked to use extreme caution when transiting the area and avoid any contact with Federal Mooring Cell #3 until a temporary repair can be made and/or a replacement cell built.
