The above street view made me realize that the entire lock chamber is on the downstream side of the dam.

David D. Terry Lock and Dam April 8, 2025
The Little Rock District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers discovered a loose barge lodged against David D. Terry Lock and Dam near Little Rock, Arkansas during an inspection this morning.
The dam is operating as intended. Initial assessments indicate the barge struck the dam with force, possibly causing minor damage; however, there are no signs of structural failure.
The barge is positioned in front of gates 15 and 16. Gate 15 is currently blocked, and flows through gate 16 are restricted.
The barge likely broke loose upstream in Pool 6 during the ongoing high-water event. The exact origin and time of impact are unknown.
The Little Rock District is coordinating with the towing industry, the Little Rock Port Authority, and the Coast Guard to identify the barge’s owner.
Alex Bice: Barge doesn’t look like it’s been used for a long time. Looks likes it’s been upside down in the mud.
James Bush: Alex Bice it sure is bad rusty, maybe the flood waters washed it out from somewhere. Very well could been submerged for a while.

At the time of this video, the flow of 160kcfs was keeping the barge in place. Engineers are working on a plan to operate the gates to keep pressure on the barge as the flows go down. |
This is a better view of the hydraulic jump.
