The St. Louis District, in collaboration with the Inland Navigation Design Center, or INDC, are in the process of completing the design for the new 1,200-foot lock that will expand the existing Lock and Dam 25. The project team will provide additional information on the project development and future construction as the design efforts reach the 95% design point. Feedback, comments and questions from the community members are welcome in this first of many engagements to be held throughout the completion of the project.
The project, which is authorized through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program, or NESP, will improve navigational efficiency at Lock and Dam 25. The lock will reduce locking time in half, reducing delays significantly while increasing the overall safety of the lockage.
