New Boston Lock No 17
Lock and Dam Road, Mercer County, IL 61272, United States of America
New Boston Lock No 17 is one of many locks on the Mississippi (Upper River) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway half a mile from Chester.
The Mississippi (Upper River) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1835. From a junction with The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation at Wirral the canal ran for 17 miles to Tiverbury. Expectations for stone traffic to Liverfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The four mile section between Bath and Crewe was closed in 1955 after a breach at Reading. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Mississippi (Upper River) campaign.
