Industrial Canal Lock, Navigation lock in Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans, Louisiana, US
The Industrial Canal Lock enables vessels to navigate between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain through a chamber measuring 31 feet in depth.
The Industrial Canal Lock, completed in 1923, required substantial modifications in 1998 when six original gates weighing 250 tons underwent refurbishment and repair.
The lock stands at the center of community discussions regarding infrastructure development, with residents participating in initiatives to address environmental and safety concerns.
Maritime traffic accessing the lock consists primarily of shallow-draft barge tows moving through the Intracoastal Waterway system at mile marker 6.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains this lock, which operated with a toll system of 5 cents per gross ton until federal intervention ended the practice.
