I mean that's cool, much more interesting than watching something produced with an annoying mugging host of some description. Are you going to leave the ovoid coffer dams in place like that or are you going to straighten those out?
Since they seem disinclined to answer, the new lock is apparently identical to the largest of the old locks (the one that doesn't get touched in this video). The two locks being replaced weren't used much because they were too small for newer lakers. While this is upping capacity, I agree with you: they should have gone bigger. My guess is that they figure that infrastructure limitations on the rest of the Great Lakes will prevent the ships themselves from ever getting much larger, so there's no need to future-proof.
@@princessofthecape2078 check your attitude at the door princess. There is no reason to build bigger than the Poe. No ships will ever be built larger for the shallow harbors on the lakes.
The new lock is 110ft wide. This is 30ft wider than the Sabin lock which it is replacing but the same width as the Poe lock which is already in operation.
would be nice to hear whats going on. Difficult to read whats going on and then watch it at the same time.
Government.

Loving the animation and breakdown!
Will the new locks be wider or longer than the existing locks?

no reason to build anything larger than the Poe. The 1000ft boats are as big as the existing harbors can handle.
@@LokiOdinson-fz8ps 'Check your attitude at the door'...? That's not attitude, this is: go take a short walk onto a busy highway.
