Large lock at Ballard Locks could be closed all week

Posted by Geeky Swedes on October 12th, 2010

The large lock at the Ballard Locks is still closed after being struck by lightning Sunday night. “We may be out the rest of the week,” Patricia Graesser with the Army Corps of Engineers tells us. It’s taking longer than the anticipated one day to restore the electrical system. The small lock is still open, allowing smaller pleasure boats through. Large ships, however, are stuck on either side of the locks until the power can be restored.
