The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, is actively managing ice conditions on the Ohio River following a recent winter storm to ensure the continued movement of commerce along the Ohio River. USACE remains in close coordination with the U.S. Coast Guard and towing industry as icy conditions and sub-freezing temperatures persist.

Huntington District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced the temporary suspension of locking operations at Willow Island Locks and Dam on the Ohio River (Mile 161.7) in Reno, Ohio, as of January 28. The suspension is due to significant ice buildup preventing the main chamber lock gates from operating properly. Both lock chambers at this specific location are closed to navigation traffic until the ice accumulation can be resolved to restore safe lock gate functionality. Corps employees are on-site working to break, flush, remove, and prevent further ice accumulation.
