Work on New Lock’s concrete walls begins in the fall, as officials hope to have megaproject completed by 2030 at estimated cost of $3 billion
The New Lock project in Sault Michigan will be completed and open to shipping in 2030 as long as U.S. federal government funding keeps flowing in a timely manner to the crucial megaproject.
The site’s MacArthur Lock is still operational and can accommodate smaller vessels but only the Poe Lock is able to accommodate the 1,000-foot-long ships that transport millions of tons of iron ore from mines in Minnesota and northern Michigan to steel mills along the Great Lakes.“The Poe Lock is currently operating on borrowed time.
The New Lock at the Soo is being built where the Sabin Lock once was and will be the same size as the Poe Lock . Officials say that despite the entire New Lock project having been approved there are several rounds of waiting on bundles of government funding to be okayed by Congress in order for the project to be done by 2030.
