Barges Flocked Up Mississippi From Cairo as Water Rises
Higher water levels and dredging allow 50 barges to advance upriver from Cairo while about 200 remain marooned by shallow channels. Corps dredge boats aided, as empty barges move upriver to load grain. Some oil, coal, and steel barges still dock at Cairo, and towboat loads are reduced due to a narrow channel. Sediment removal improved flow near Goose Island and Cape Rock.
