According to BC Hydro, the closure is necessary to perform maintenance that will ensure the long-term, reliable and safe operations of the lock.

Regular hours of operation for the lock are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week. Transport trough the lock is available at no charge for all properly equipped watercraft.
