Lock and Dam 10 hosts annual open house

Submitted by admin on Tue, 09/23/2025 - 11:12

Lock and Dam 10 has two of its original miter gates, which are not used and do not have any motors attached to make them operational. The Corps originally intended the gates to work as an auxiliary chamber to pass through the Lock; however, during construction, the project was determined to not be viable. The Corps later put in a pylon wall to relieve the water pressure from the inoperable gates. (Steve Van Kooten/Courier Press)
