The Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway Association, the trade association representing business, industry and navigation stakeholders along the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway project (BWT), held its 72nd annual meeting May 18-20 at the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Ala., on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. The meeting got underway with reports from Mobile Engineer District project managers for the BWT and the Tennes-see-Tombigbee Waterway (Tenn-Tom). The two waterways converge near Demopolis Lock and Dam in west-central Alabama. On both waterways, while no lock closures are planned for 2022, channel and lock maintenance work is in the queue for this year, with some extended closures planned for subsequent years. Nelson Sanchez, operations division chief for the Mobile Engineer District, outlined appropriations on the horizon for the district, starting with the $63.9 million that the BWT is slated to receive from the president's fiscal year 2023 budget. |
