Bias/Inconsistency

The "controversy" and "economic impact" sections seem to directly contradict each other, and the Troy University study showing $43 billion in impact seems pretty suspicious, especially given that Troy is in Alabama, one of the big winners from the canal construction project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:F140:400:A02C:2D36:CF1B:90A6:8100 (talk) 18:38, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion requests

I've requested that this article be expanded. I know that there is a lot more history on the waterway, especially some controversy that the demand for it has not appeared. However, I don't know enough to write a whole section on it.

Also, if anyone has a map of the waterway, including the locks, and/or some pictures of the waterway and/or locks, the article would probably benefit. Clarkbhm 18:24, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Divide cut

I would suggest that the link to Divide cut be removed, and a new section entered with this title. I will work on this, if there are no objections. I will also work on taking some photos on the Divide cut and Bay Springs Lake, as these are the sections which I am quite familiar. mrh 22:11, 4 May 2006 (UTC) Started the section - still a stub ...

Directional flow

DONE: re-orderd locks to match intro section.
