SEATTLE -- The walkways over the large lock will be closed to pedestrian traffic on Dec. 4 from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Please plan alternative routes for commutes or other activities during the closure.
As part of the ongoing large lock center gate replacement project, contractors are lowering supplies and equipment into the lock chamber during the hours of the closure.
The Army Corps owns and operates the Locks, the busiest in the nation. Nearly 50,000 vessels lock through each year.
Most machinery and equipment, including the large lock center miter gate, are original to the Locks. Improving this 107-year-old navigation infrastructure will help the Army Corps supply consistent and dependable navigation over the years to come.
Check our official Locks Closure page for closure information and schedule changes.
