It required 192 hours of continuous operation in all weather conditions with the first vessel passing through the lock on December 16 The beams with the help of a crane were placed over 1,000 times and chain hooks were attacked over 4,000 times Divers had to enter the chamber 1,840 times to hook the chains into the eyelets the WSA reports a total of 70 ships had passed through the lock The final two vessels had scheduled their transit for today Sunisha arrived at the lock around 0800 local time and when the fog lifted it made the transit Three hours later a river cargo vessel Tunica became the last to leave the lock No vessels had been able to use the lock to enter Luxembourg and France since the accident the Saar and the German Moselle are completely empty of cargo ships or passenger ships,” WSA reported today Only a few ships which spend the winter on the rivers remain The lock is now closed with the beams to be set into place and the chamber drained and new concrete poured to repair the damage Two gate frames that were manufactured in 2005 need to be prepared and panels installed plus four new neck bearing blocks also have to be manufactured The timeline now calls for moving all the components to the lock at Müden on January 15 and then starting to reassemble the operation The lock is now closed until the repairs can be completed Steelmaker ArcelorMittal with operations in Luxembourg was forced to plan alternate routes to move its material The authorities in Luxembourg worked with the company to temporarily change rules for the transit of heavy goods by road The Müden lock provides a vital link for the movement of goods and passengers coming from the Rhine and traveling into Western Germany Best Dressed at Met Gala 2025 - Top 32 Red Carpet Looks Revealed!

Mandy Muden's qualifiers performance showed off her skills as a magician, but I also would have believed it if she said that she was there as a comedian or a quick-change artist. She combined a number of talents, and found time to banter with Simon Cowell about hitting the town together It really has to be seen at least once (or multiple times) to really be appreciated Simon Cowell's reactions really were the best. I also appreciated that Cowell added some background to Mandy Muden that AGT viewers likely didn't know I'm not saying the magic's the best I've ever seen but I have seen Mandy on the British show [Britain's Got Talent] before And what I will say about Mandy is that Mandy.. has done all of these terrible little gigs to get to where she's got to so the fact that you're here in Hollywood tonight The competition is stiff as the days count down to the finale so seeing her get the sincere "bravo" from Cowell after flirting with him as part of the act was a nice way to end her segment.

The local waterways and shipping authority (WSA) had said the operation would be complete by New Year's Eve. “Everything has been completed,” said Ulrich Zwinge of the WSA on Friday, with 72 barges transported to safety during the morning. The Müden lock was severely damaged in a collision involving a cargo ship on 8 December. Since then, shipping traffic on the Moselle has been at a standstill. Luxembourg steelmaker ArcelorMittal said it was planning alternative routes to transport goods with Luxembourg temporarily changing rules for the transport of heavy goods by road to prevent further backlogs Preparations for the repair of the lock are now underway This includes setting up the construction site and draining the damaged lock chamber “The work itself will then start in the new year,” he said A new lock gate will be installed at the end of January It is currently being prepared at a building yard in Trier and will then be brought to Müden by ship The plan is to put the lock back into regular operation earlier than expected on 1 February Experts had initially assumed that works could take until the end of March next year (This story was first published in the Luxemburger Wort.
