The Sault News
SAULT STE. MARIE Earlier this week, ice breaking operations started by the United States Coast Guard in preparation for the 2021 commercial shipping season.
“Every year the Coast Guard coordinates with the Army Corps of Engineers to prepare the Soo Locks and the St. Marys River for the lock opening at the end of March,” said Lieutenant Barton Nanney, public affairs officer of USCG Sector Sault Ste. Marie. “Over the next few weeks, Coast Guard icebreakers will be operating in the locks and the river to break up the ice in advance of commercial traffic transiting the river.”
