Engineers with the Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) are raised out of the John Day Dam navigation lock, located on the Columbia River near Rufus, Oregon, July 26 after inspecting the locks upstream gate following a malfunction due to a broken guide wheel. While the Corps works to fix the 215,000-pound vertical lift gate, its continuing to pass vessels through the lock using a floating bulkheada wall that can be moved in and out of place with a tugboat and essentially used as a temporary gate. Currently, vessel lockages, which typically take about 45 minutes, are taking twice as long. The guide wheels, two of which are attached to each side of the gate, act as rollers that keep the gate aligned as it moves up and down through its normal range of motion during lockages.
