Updates to locks and dams begin on Upper Mississippi River

The Army Corps of Engineers started work Thursday on one of seven new lock chambers along the Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers that will move ag commodities more efficiently.

Missouri Corn CEO Bradley Schad tells Brownfield the current Lock and Dam #25 in Winfield, Missouri requires barges to be broken down and takes hours to move through.

“With the new lock, barges will go from 2 to 4 hours getting through to 30 minutes,” says Schad.
