Walkway (left) and pontoon from the lockhouse
The lower (nearer) section of pontoon may be for the lakeboat hire business
Boats mooring on the lower end of the pontoon, and turning to approach upstream, may get quite close to the bridge. The navigation markers may confuse too: perhaps they’ll be relocated.

It all looks very nice. There are lots of people working on site.
