Industry and government partners discussed keeping freight moving on the Mississippi at a FreightWeekSTL 2026 panel. American Commercial Barge Line operates 3,200 barges, with about 70% of its fleet moving through the St. Louis area.
The Army Corps manages about 300 miles of the river there and maintains a 9-foot channel.
