Port of South Louisiana and Waterways Council officials said new federal infrastructure funding will improve grain and energy shipments on inland waterways. They noted $8 billion in lock and dam backlog, reduced by $2.5 billion, leaving $5.5 billion unfunded, while grain exporters seek expansion due to the Ukraine war.
