Seaway draft restriction set between Montreal and Lake Ontario
The St. Lawrence Seaway operators have set the maximum permissible depth for vessels transiting the waterway to 26-feet, 3-inches, effective Sept. 1.
In a joint statement, the U.S. Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corp. and Canada's St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp. said the restrictions are due to low water levels on Lake St-Louis and particularly in the area immediately above Cote Ste Catherine Lock to the western end of Cote Ste. Catherine wharf.
