Lock Repair at Little Goose has Shippers Scrambling by Elaine Williams Lewiston Tribune, March 26, 2014

Corps extends dam closure until May 1

The dam's navigation lock will be closed, likely until May 1, so crews can repair a gudgeon, a metal arm at the top of the south gate leaf that hinges and holds the gate leaf to the lock wall.
