  • Army Corps to keep Crooked River Lock in Alanson closed to complete repairs

    The Crooked River Lock in Alanson, Michigan will remain closed for the remainder of the season to perform critical maintenance this fall.

Replacement parts for a faulty safety relay allowing the lock to reliably open and close remain on backorder.
