Officials using dredges to maintain safe navigation paths along historically low Mississippi River
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is actively dredging the Mississippi River to maintain safe travel pathways as the waterway hits historically low levels for the second year in a row. Using dustpan dredges, which use water jets to loosen mud and vacuum it away, the corps strives to maintain a 12-foot navigation channel. These dredges can clear a 30-foot-wide section of river in an hour, sometimes operating continuously for 24-hour periods. Leah DeYoung, USACE Dredging Unit Chief, notes that while dredging helps, significant rainfall in key areas is needed to naturally restore the river’s levels.

SUMMARY: Mississippi travel officials are preparing for a busy holiday season, with Santa Claus receiving approval from the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) for his sleigh and toy load.

Drivers were reminded to be cautious and alert for reindeer and sleighs during the holiday season.
