Jeff Williams There's usually a couple of fishermen sitting on rocks under those trees, and kids playing on the lawn now under water, watched over by young parents.

| We Work the Waterways posted We originally believed this was the Industrial Canal Lock — but thanks to our sharp-eyed followers, we now know it’s actually the Harvey Lock in Harvey, Louisiana! Located on the west bank of the Mississippi River, the Harvey Lock connects the river to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway via the Harvey Canal. It’s a critical link in America’s inland waterway system, helping vessels navigate between two of our busiest waterways. Thanks to our community for helping us get it right! 📸 Courtesy of Michael Djb Irby of BallistiC Drone Photography. Dean White: Dependent on the origin, some choose to use the Port Allen route… Dean White: Don’t recall any proposals to enlarge/replace this bottleneck, either… Andrew Murphy: Dean White ok these locks are the Harvey locks and you are right. There have never been any proposals to enlarge them. But industrial locks is different. About 10 or 15 years ago (might have been a bit longer) the US Corps of Engineers had come up with a plan to enlarge industrial locks and did start the process. But it was abandoned when the residents south of the locks sued because they did not want to lose their homes, even after the corps had offered a lit more than what the land was worth. Here is a kicker though, if the Corps decides they want to just do the project they can just claim the land under the eminent domain laws and kick the people out of their homes. I think in the future that might happen, but fir now it will not. |
