Wheat Barges Clear John Day Lock (Engineer recruitment program) Item Info

With diversion of the Columbia River through the North Shore spillway bays at the U.S Army Corps of Engineers' John Day Lock and Dam, barges and tows are now utilizing the temporary channel and permanent lock of the huge multipurpose project. Here is shown a tug with a pair of wheat barges in tow moving through the temporary channel, headed downstream for clearance through the John Day Lock. With completion of the project, this temporary channel will be inundated by the John Day Reservoir which will be nearly 100 feet in depth at this point.
