VA – Great Bridge Lock Adjusted Schedule:
Effective 31 July 2023 through 18 August 2023, the Great Bridge Locks located along the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal of the Atlantic Intracoastal Water Way in Chesapeake, Virginia will be closed to all vessel traffic from 0700 through 1700 Monday through Friday. This closure is required for maintenance crews to perform a repair on the locks due to an electrical failure that occurred in April of this year. Vessels drafting less than 6 feet are encouraged to utilize the Dismal Swamp Canal for transit. Chart 12206 (5th District LNM Week 30/2023)
From notice to navigators.
What are folks doing who are over 5’ draft? Think 6’ is optimistic for the Dismal. This repair has been dragging on and on for months. Anybody have insight as to when it will be completed?
