The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is running dustpan dredges around the clock to keep navigation channels open on the historically low Mississippi. The river hit record lows for a second consecutive year in early October, and the Corps is working to maintain a 12-foot navigation depth.
Dredging helps keep barge lanes open and limits further cuts to tow size, which supports freight capacity during harvest exports. Without it, shipping constraints and higher barge costs would deepen.
