SPECIAL SAILING INSTRUCTIONS - WIDTH RESTRICTION
MONTGOMERY POINT LOCK (No. 99) NM 0.5
MCCLELLAN-KERR ARKANSAS RIVER NAVIGATION SYSTEM

The downstream river wall miter gate at Mongomery Point Lock (No. 99) NM 0.5, is failing to recess due to an obstruction behind the gate. Due to this, mariners are advised that a 70-ft width restriction is in place, effective immediately. Mariners should avoid contact with the downstream river wall in the area of the miter gate recess. All vessels are to exercise caution to safely transit by the downstream river wall miter gate to prevent damaging the gate. These locking instructions will remain in place until further notice.

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.
