Mississippi River At St. Louis, Missouri

A Large Boat Was Stuck In The Mississippi.......

 

On Thursday morning, crews were out on the Mississippi River at downown St. Louis working to free up a yacht that had gotten stuck just south of the McKinley Bridge.

 

On Tuesday, two people on board the vessel had been brought safely to shore by the marine rescue task force.  The salvage company stated that the boat had run aground on a chevron in the river.  The vessel began to take on water after hitting the rocks.

 

The chevron that the vessel ran aground on was placed at that location intentionally.  Chevrons are U-shaped structures submerged near the shore intending to reduce silting and keep the river flowing faster. They are installed to reduce the amount of dredging required to keep the Mississippi River navigable........

Mississippi River At Winfield, Missouri

Officials Broke Ground On Lock and Dam No.25 Expansion........

 

On May 18th, a crowd of just under 100 people attended the groundbreaking ceremony of an expanded 1,200 foot chamber at Lock and Dam No.25 along the Mississippi River at Winfield, Missouri.

 

Phase 1 of the project began with mostly preparatory work, starting with a crane prepping the riverbed .  Crews will be focusing on the river side of the existing 600 foot lock wall, where they will modify it to accommodate the new 1,200 foot chamber next to it.

 

The addition of the 1,200 foot lock chamber will reduce locking times, as barge tows will no longer spend hours being broken down and reassembled after locking through.  Lock and Dam No.25 is the first of seven locks to be upgraded with modern lock chambers........

Illinois Waterway Ports Commission Act........

 

In a move welcomed by port and waterway advocates, both houses of the Illinois state Legislature unanimously approved the Illinois Waterway Ports Commission Act.

 

The act is expected to be signed by Illinois Governor, J.B. Pritzker this summer.  The legislation will immediately take effect, bringing the 10 county Illinois Waterway Ports Commission (centered on Peoria and Ottawa) in line with the ii Illinois Counties within the Mid-America Port Commission area (centered on Quincy and Hannibal).

 

The IWPCA creates the Illinois Waterway Ports Commission and gives it jurisdiction over the Seneca Regional Port District, the Ottawa Port District, the Illinois Valley Regional Port District, the Havana Port District, as well as Fulton, Mason, Tazewell, Peoria, Woodford, Marshall, Putnam, Bureau, LaSalle and Grundy counties........

Boating Safety

Make Sure Your Lights Are Ready For Boating At Night........

 

Boating season has finally arrived, and there may be an occasion or two for enjoying a nighttime boat ride, including taking in a fireworks show over the water or taking a stargazing excursion.

 

Boating during daylight hours requires high levels of care and attentiveness, but nighttime boating requires even more care, as darkness affects depth perception and can cause confusion or loss of orientation.

 

A few things to keep in mind when boating after twilight is to make sure your navigation lights are correctly placed and in working order.  The nav light configurations are so boaters can see one another and determine what direction they are traveling........

Mississippi River Near Granite City, Illinois

What Are Those Castles In The Middle Of The River........

 

When you are crossing the Interstate 270 Chain of Rocks Bridge spanning the Mississippi River near Granite City, Illinois, you can see what appears to be two castles in the middle of the river and may be curious about their purpose.

 

Curtis Skouby, the director of public utilities with the city of St. Louis says that the structures are basically elaborate water intake towers constructed around a tube.  Skouby added that there are ports built into the sides of each tower at different heights below the water's surface to allow for changing river levels. 

 

When the gates covering these openings are removed, gravity takes over and allows the water to flow 70 feet down to a slanted tunnel that directs the water to the water treatment plant.  The intakes were in use until the Flood of 1993, when the intake tubes were filled with mud and debris.........

Table Rock Lake

80 Year Old Died After Being Thrown From His Boat.........

 

Missouri officials report that an 80 year old man died on Thursday afternoon after being thrown from his boat on Table Rock Lake in the Missouri Ozarks.  This fatal accident was one of two incidents involving boaters in the Ozarks.  The other incident resulted in an injury.

 

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, 80 year old Thomas Crain was operating a fishing boat on Table Rick Lake when he lost control and was thrown into the water.  Crain was pronounced dead at 3:10 pm, roughly 2 hours after the incident occurred.  It is uncertain of there was anyone else aboard the vessel.

 

On the Lake of the Ozarks, an 80 year old man and a 64 year old woman were involved in in an incident where their boat struck a large wake, throwing the woman from her seat.  She was taken to the hospital with moderate injuries........
