__________________________________________

 

We have hit our first high water trigger point at Dresden Island Lock and Dam in which tows over 70’ must have loads on the land wall side.  High outdraft conditions exist at Dresden on down to Starved Rock.  Navigable pass open at both Peoria and LaGrange Locks.

 

Thank you,
