Good Afternoon everyone,
Here is where we are right now...
The Bristol Bay and Neah Bay continue to flush both the old South Channel and the Seaway Cut. The Mackinaw and Samuel Risley have moved four vessels through the river today and will continue to work traffic through the evening into tomorrow.
We have made the decision not to break the ice into the North Channel on Monday due to our ability to get the traffic through and slightly ease the ice throughout the day. We are constantly watching the water levels in Lake St. Clair, Algonac, and Marine City. Lake St. Clair has significantly dropped telling us that there is a water flow issue.
What this means is that between the traffic flow issues and the possibility for flooding in the upriver areas, we may need and continue to leave the North Channel ice breaking on the table. We will continue to keep everyone updated and work with local authorities, Champion's Ferry, the press, and you to ensure you have the most up to the minute information!

Good Morning Everyone,
This morning, the Bristol Bay and Neah Bay are going to continue to flush the Old South Channel and Seaway Cut while the Mackinaw and Samuel Risley move downbound traffic through the heavy ice.
We continue to monitor ice and water level conditions. Stay tuned for further updates as the day progresses!
