September 2026 owner plan schedules gate work and dam-road closure from 21 September to mid-January 2027

Project sources

West Point's 2026-27 gate-maintenance programme combines reservoir drawdown, repair and painting of two spillway gates and closure of the dam road. USACE publishes the planned dates and a separate daily pool record.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
US Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District
Delivery parties
The July and September owner notices leave the maintenance contractor unspecified.
Contract route
USACE's public releases describe the maintenance and road-closure programme. Contract award, payment and completion-certification terms require their separate procurement records.
Execution window
The 31 July release planned work from 1 October to 15 January. The 14 September notice moved the advertised start and road closure to 21 September, expected maintenance completion in mid-January and retained a 625-ft target by 1 October with its datum unstated.
Works package
Maintenance and painting of spillway gates 1 and 2, associated reservoir drawdown and temporary closure of Resource Management Drive across the dam. The technical sheet lists six 50-ft-wide by 41-ft-high tainter gates for the complete dam.
Marine interfaces
Gate access depends on the reservoir operating level and the activity's isolation or access condition. The public road shares the dam worksite, linking maintenance and equipment clearance to the crossing's reopening.
Commercial evidence boundary
The road closure extends through equipment removal after maintenance. Reservoir refill proceeds gradually as operating conditions allow. The midnight-pool series supplies dated levels for work planning; an access release also requires the relevant gate condition and survey basis.

Evidence gap

What remains unverified

Outstanding evidence

  • Notice target datum reconciled with the working survey and gauge
  • Dated gate workfront and repair/painting progress
  • Equipment clearance, road reopening and reservoir recovery
