The Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program is a dual-purpose program for navigation improvements and ecosystem restoration along the Upper Mississippi River system. Through this program, a 1,200-foot navigation chamber will be constructed on the Mississippi River at Lock and Dam 25 that will increase redundancy with two lock chambers, reduce costs for shippers and consumers by increasing efficiency of lock transit times, improve mariner safety and accommodate large tow configurations. Among other Improvements, the Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program will ensure improvements will be made for fish and wildlife through the construction of a fish passage, modified dam operations to restore natural river level variability, backwater and island habitat, and side channel reconnections.
