Due to high water, the Allegheny River Development Corp. and with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have decided to keep four locks closed in the Armstrong County portion of the Allegheny River.

The closed locks are located in South Buffalo, West Kittanning, Boggs, and Madison townships.

During the summer, ARDC pays to keep open the Armstrong County locks, for recreational boaters on weekends and holidays and special events.

“The river is high, swift and debris laden,” the ARDC said in a statement.
