The U.S. Coast Guard declared the Lower Mississippi River open September 3 after clearing several downed power lines and surveying the channel. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, the Coast Guard continues to work to reopen ports and waterways throughout southeast Louisiana. Capt. Will Watson, Coast Guard captain of the port for the Port of New Orleans, said he is working in close coordination with federal, state, parish, city and maritime stakeholders to safely reopen maritime traffic along the Mississippi River and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Some key areas along the river remain closed as recovery operations continue. Deep draft vessels operating on the Lower Mississippi River are restricted to daylight transit only. |
