It is only the part from Montreal onward to Great Lakes that is closed dow due to ice. The reason for this is that the lock system can not operate with ice around the gates as it will be too much damage to them caused by the ice pressure as ships are passing. Also to open and close these doors will be impossible. To ship yor project cargo to Becancour in the winter would therefor be no problem for you. Good luck with your project! Paschal
