TD 2024-2 Obstructed Channel Highway 62 Bridge NM 387-397

Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Published March 30, 2024
Expiration date: 4/30/2024
PRINT | E-MAIL

River Traffic is closed to navigation from Mile Marker 387 to Mile Marker 397 due to fallen construction material at the Highway 62 bridge in Muskogee, Oklahoma. High winds have caused material to fall from the bridge into the channel creating an obstruction. Bridge materials are also hanging from the structure creating a clearance hazard above the navigation channel.
The closure listed above is scheduled to reopen to Navigation traffic once obstructions are cleared from the navigation channel. Waterway users are advised to check with Lock 16 and Lock 17 for the latest information. Questions or request for additional information concerning this notice should be directed to Mr. Robert Steiner; Navigation Operations Manager: 918-607-0952 or Mr. Rodney Beard; Navigation Operations Project Manager: 918-607-0953.
