Traffic analysis of Chicago River and lock
CJ Khisty, JA Johnson - Transportation research record, 1996 - journals.sagepub.com
The vessel-carrying capacity of the Chicago River in Illinois is restricted by a lock, which
separates the river from Lake Michigan. Vessels passing through the lock experience long
delays during the summer months. An investigation and analysis of this system determined
that although the system is now generally operating below capacity the peak periods during
summer weekends approach capacity, and the situation is likely to deteriorate in the future.
In addition, the river and lock have safety and traffic conflict problems that require attention …
