The US Army Corps of Engineers St. Paul District reported 1,601 commercial lockages at Lock and Dam 10 in 2024, below the 10-year average of 2,213. The lockages moved about 10.9 million tons of commodities, roughly 5,450 barges, slightly above 2023 volumes.
Lower lockage counts reflect shorter navigation or weather-limited barge traffic on the upper Mississippi, a modest signal of constrained upper-river grain freight capacity.
