Workers labor through the winter to keep the aging Poe Soo Lock in working order.

There are four Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie, MI, but nearly 90% of the cargo moves through one of them: the Poe Lock. But the Poe, which was built in 1896, is showing its age. Construction of a new Poe-sized lock is planned for the next seven to 10 years, but until it’s completed, workers labor through the winter to keep the Poe in working order. Episode 1011/Segment 3
