USACE certifies New Soo Lock’s cost at $2.6B, covering all contracts and contingency, with the project still targeting 2030 completion.

Joint venture's award is part of a nearly $3.3B effort to build a larger lock to accommodate modern cargo vessels as they traverse the 21-ft elevation change traveling between Lake Superior and the other Great Lakes.

A joint venture of Kokosing, Alberici and Traylor Bros. has been working on the final phase of the New Lock at the Soo project since 2022.

The option is the fourth awarded on top of Kokosing Alberici Traylor LLC's $1.1-billion base contract.

Contractors are mobilizing and Congress has authorized the Michigan waterway project at a price the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says will allow its completion.
