The St. Louis Engineer District closed the main chamber of the Mississippi River Chain of Rocks Locks (Locks 27, near Granite City, Ill.) from February 1 through Februaryl8 for maintenance and repair. During this time, the auxiliary lock will remain open for traffic. Although February is usually slow for grain movements on this part of the river, the barge industry expects some level of delays during the closure. Between 2016 and 2020, the average February total tonnage for grain movements through Locks 27 was 1.08 million tons, 4 percent of annual total tonnage through the locks. |
