Lock Project Aims to Build a New Super Lock at Davis and Saban
The plan envisions a new large lock to handle bigger ships between Lakes Superior and Huron, with construction lasting 7 to 10 years. Peak on-site staff around 250, total jobs about 1,120 over eight years, and a local labor income impact of about 559 million dollars. The proposed lock would also bolster regional security by replacing the dormant Davis and Saban Locks.
