Lock and Dam 2 Open House

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, is hosting an open house at the Mississippi River Lock and Dam 2 in Hastings on Saturday.

Corps officials are hosting the free event from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., to allow people to get a behind-the-scenes view of the site while also getting a better understanding of what the staff do to ensure safe, reliable navigation.

Lock and Dam 2 is located along the Mississippi River in Hastings at 1350 Lock and Dam Road.

Built in 1930, the site last underwent major rehabilitation from 1987 to 1995.
