Mongomery Point Lock & Dam (NM 0.5) has reopened to navigation traffic 24-hours per day. However, a 70-ft width restriction remains in place. All mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution when transiting the lock. Tows should align with the land wall when nearing the downstream approach to avoid contact with the downstream river wall miter gate. Additionally, mariners should continue to expect longer than normal lockage times. These locking instructions will remain in place until further notice.
