Engineers Now See Cost At 331 Million
The Chief of Engineers in Washington recommends stopping the feasibility study on the Big Muddy River-Beaucoup Creek canal project. Rep Kenneth J Gray says Itschner’s report lowers estimated cost to 331 million from 125 million, jeopardizing the project with a low cost benefit ratio and prompting calls for a full investigation and continued study. Gray cites possible coal tonnage and annual savings to argue feasibility and amortization. The canal plan, discussed for about 40 years, would reroute the river to enable barge traffic and cheaper regional transport.
