Mississippi River Floods, Locks Closed

摘要

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers closed locks on the Mississippi River twice in June, spanning a stretch of the river from Iowa to Missouri, Reuters reported. Heavy rains forced the river to flood over, with more rain expected for the area at press time. Among the locks to be closed were Locks 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22 and 24.
