Lock Opens Back Up In The Soo
Tue, 21 Jun 2022 06:00:29 EDT


The MacArthur Lock at the Soo Locks is now open.

The US Army Corps of Engineers said it shut down on December 15 of 2021 for seasonal maintenance. Part of their work included critical repairs to a 79-year-old piece of machinery which took 59 days longer than expected.

More than 4,500 vessels, carrying up to 80 million tons of cargo, maneuver through the locks annually.
