Key US Gulf Waterway Remains Blocked

摘要

A portion of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, an inland canal that stretches along the coast of the US Gulf of Mexico from Texas to Florida, was still closed Thursday due to damage inflicted by Hurricane Laura, which made landfall a week earlier near the Texas-Louisiana border. A spokesperson for the US Coast Guard told Energy Intelligence that Entergy Power is attempting to remove downed power lines blocking barge traffic along the waterway, which is currently closed near Vinton, Louisiana, between Orange, Texas and Lake Charles, Louisiana.
