SPECIAL LOCKING INSTRUCTIONS – REVISED CONTACT INFO
DARDANELLE LOCK (No. 10) NM 205.5
MCCLELLAN-KERR ARKANSAS RIVER NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The contacted information for Dardanelle Lock (No. 10) NM 205.5, as previously noted in Nav Notice SWL 24-64, has been updated below:
Due to ongoing construction at Dardanelle Lock (No. 10) NM 205.5, mariners are advised that the stoplog slot cuts may be unprotected at times. To reduce the risk of damage to the lock walls, all down-bound tows must stop and orient themselves in a straight position prior to lockage and avoid contact with the lock walls in the vicinity of the stoplog slot cuts. Tow captains are to follow all commands of the lock operator to safely transit by the land wall and river wall slot cuts, located 20 feet upstream of the upstream miter gate recesses. These locking instructions are to remain in place until the end of the construction window this fall and supersedes Navigation Notice SWL 19-84.
Mariners are asked to contact the lock via radio on Channel 16 or by phone (479) 747-3852, in advance of arrival, for current conditions.
Questions or requests for additional information concerning this notice should be directed to the Little Rock District Office, at (501) 324-5096 or you may email CESWL-OP-OM@usace.army.mil.
