Lock Wait

Lock Wait answers questions about the 192 U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers navigation locks on the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois, Gulf Intracoastal, Columbia and other waterways. Ask how many tows are waiting at a lock now, the Corps' four-hour average delay, whether a stoppage is active, the typical wait to lock through, the most recent lockages, the busiest locks, every lock on a waterway, or where a towing company's boats locked through.

Instructions: Use these tools for questions about U.S. inland navigation locks: how many tows are waiting, typical waits, traffic, operators. Lock ids look like OH-79 (river code, lock number); finds them by name. Always report the data times returned, and say that 'wait' is arrival to start of lockage as measured by Lock Wait, not an official Corps figure.
