GL: Industrial Canal Lock in New Orleans

[StWillett at aol.com]

I just read in the New Orleans paper that the Industrial Canal Lock used to  
exit the Mississippi R. though   N. O.  eastbound will be  close for repairs 
for 60 days. In their wisdom they do not give a start date for  the work, if I 
am able to find out I will post that. Any one  transiting New Orleans in the 
next few of months should check on the status  of the Lock. There is a route 
that will be used, it calls for traveling down  river to Baptiste Collette Bayou 
near Venice using the bayou to get into  Chandeleur Island Sound and 
Mississippi Sound. Of course Westbound will be  the same route but in reverse up to 
Algiers or Harvey ICW locks on the West  Bank.  Another option would be to go 
around south the of mouth of the  river.
