Good thing our enemies did not know of this vulnerability!
A couple of small bombs in the bottom of one of the big carriers would shut it down for a long time.

mostly iron ore for steel production, but also significant volumes of coal, grain and limestone This is all about making things, not importing things.

11 million Americans will lose their jobs if the Poe Lock is down for just six months One Poe Lock misses work and everything falls apart.
Are we allowed to talk about this?

Agree. There are certain infrastructure projects that government can do that function as investments in the nation and our future. This is one of those.

"This is all about making things, not importing things." I think it is probably also about exporting things.

This has been known for decades. After Pearl Harbor and 9-11, the Locks were one of the first things to get tons of extra security.

Actually, I take that back.. it’s only 179.1 smoots. I forgot to convert from metric..

exporting things Fair point ... much of that grain likely goes overseas. The coal, iron ore, and limestone are the makings of steel. The stuff used to be used right here in USA. Should still be.

stalled since 1986, President Trump makes REAL infrastructure a priority (as opposed to obama’s trillion dollar waste of money repaving a few miles of road in every county ... i think they spent more money on the big stimulus project signs than the actual paving in my county ... really disappointed in that one; i was hoping the I-70 Eisenhower tunnel under the continental divide might get a 3rd bore, but all we got was a few miles of road resurfacing in each county)
