Eisenhower Lock, Navigation lock in Massena, United States

The Eisenhower Lock measures 233.5 meters in length, 24.4 meters in width, and functions as part of the Great Lakes St Lawrence Seaway System.

The structure, initially named Robinson Bay Lock, received its current name after President Dwight Eisenhower and opened for maritime traffic in 1958.

The lock dedication ceremony in 1959 brought together Queen Elizabeth II, Vice President Richard Nixon, and New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller.

The lock requires approximately 91 million liters of water and takes between 7 to 10 minutes to fill for each vessel passage.

Ships passing through the lock system rise more than 180 meters above sea level, enabling vessels up to 225.5 meters long to navigate inland.
