Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (GLS)(www.seaway.dot.gov) celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2019. The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System (GLSLS) was constructed as a commercial shipping channel from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean and back. The Eisenhower Lock is a United States-operated lock in a series along the St. Lawrence River. There are two GLS-operated locks in Massena, New York: Eisenhower Lock and Snell Lock. They are both gravity-fed and are located on the Wiley-Dondero Canal, which is about 8 nautical miles long. The Seaway System is managed in partnership by both the U.S. and Canada. For up-to-date information on estimated vessel transit times, you can try one of the three options listed below:

1. Call (315) 769-2422 for a voice recording of that day’s projected lockage schedule.

2. Additional information is on Seaway binational website at
