About this video
The Great Lakes Navigation System is a single, continuous freshwater superhighway moving over 135 million tons of cargo annually, carrying the literal building blocks of the American economy. Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, Mr. Lee Forsgren, and Detroit District Commander Lt. Col. Daniel Lew visited key nodes along this critical transit loop to emphasize infrastructure resilience. From the Duluth-Superior Harbor’s CN Ore Dock, where regional resources like taconite are launched to fuel national steel production, to the crucial shipping gateway of the Soo Locks, the focus remains on keeping the supply chain moving without interruption. Through Building Infrastructure, Not Paperwork, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is delivering the modern infrastructure required to eliminate bottlenecks, maintain critical channels, and secure our nation’s economic future with transparency and disciplined stewardship of taxpayer resources.
