 Navigation traffic will be allowed to lock from 1700 to 0600 daily during the restriction period.
 The upper and lower guidewalls will not be available for breaking/making tows. Lines will need to be caught on the I-Wall side of the lock unless approved otherwise by the Lockmaster.
 The tow haulage units will not be operable during this time, which will prohibit double lockages upstream and downstream utilizing the tow haulage
unit equipment. Tows can still transit the lock with a double, as long as they have either a tug assist or industry self-help pulling cuts out of the lock
chamber. Tows will have to transit and stage barges at above mile marker 326 northbound or below mile marker 324 southbound to reconfigure tows.
 The purpose of the restrictions and closure is to replace land wall concrete, replace the kevel rail, and conduct lock wall joint repairs. All work will
be performed by a contractor.
 All navigation interest should be alert for, and abide by, any special instructions that may be issued by the Lockmaster. Towboat operators are
requested NOT to tie up on the guide walls during these closure periods. Please contact the lock at 217-222-0918 or on channel 14 for assistance.

Hi Bill:

The following email went out to our exhibitors this morning:


Dear Exhibitors,

The NMMA is committed to upholding a presence in St. Louis, retaining the show’s assets for future opportunities. We are exploring the viability of other venues to produce a show in the St. Louis market, while also working with the convention center on securing future dates.

We’ll be in touch with updates and opportunities impacting your business.

Thank you for your understanding and support. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at denvall@nmma.org.

Sincerely,
