Kentucky Lake Lock and Dam

The lock in the picture in your link looks a bit unusual. It's not
like the common Mississippi River lock.

That's because the lower exit gate lifts instead of swinging open.
Don't know why they designed it that way, seems like it would be more
difficult to engineer and build. The upper gate swings open the way
you'd expect.
