RIAC – UMR Lock Openings Summary

By Tessa Andres | February 2, 2023

A few have been asking as to how the winter lock work is going and if the scheduled openings were on track. RIAC inquired and so far and here is the current reports by Corps District with current scheduled opening dates: the work at Locks 3, 4, 12, 13, 15, 19, 21, 22, 24 & 25 are all on track to open as scheduled. If anything changes, RIAC will alert the group as soon as possible.

St. Paul District:

The work at Locks 3 & 4 is on schedule, if not a little ahead. At this point re-opening of the facilities should take place as scheduled, on March 13th. However, if things continue to go well, it could be up to a week earlier than planned.

Current scheduled opening dates:

  • Lock 3: 12 Mar 23
  • Lock 4: 12 Mar 23
