Construction at Ballard Locks to slow boat traffic

Boat traffic in both directions through the Ballard Locks will be slowed by construction work for three to four days, starting 7 a.m. Monday.

Seattle Times staff

Boat traffic in both directions through the Ballard Locks will be slowed by construction work for three to four days, starting 7 a.m. Monday.

The large channel on the west end of the locks will be restricted in width due to a large crane barge doing reconstruction work on the north bank.

There will be room for vessels to pass, said locks-operations manager Dave Carpenter, but barges may need an additional tugboat to navigate the narrower passage.

Vessels and boaters should ensure they have any additional handling equipment and crew before entering the lock.

The large crane barge will stay in place overnight during the work period.

The phone number for the lockmaster is 206-783-7000.
