Soo Locks

The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers says the delays are associated with the MacArthur lock's age and the complexities of navigating tight spaces with large components.

With the MacArthur lock still under repair, the only functioning lock, the Poe lock, is under added pressure. Ships are being delayed up to 90 minutes.

The nearly $1.1 billion project is projected to cost nearly three times the original amount.

The Army Corps of Engineers is moving ahead with plans to construct a new lock in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan after receiving full funding from the passage of the federal bipartisan infrastructure act.
