The first tow up the Mississippi River to pass through Lock and Dam 3 was only two days later than last year when the first tow went through on March 19th.
According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District the W Red Harris passed through the Lock and Dam near Red Wing at 3:29 pm yesterday which marked the unofficial opening of navigation on the Mississippi River.
