McClellan-Kerr Navigation System
The McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, completed in 1971, has transformed 445 miles of river into a major economic asset for both Arkansas and Oklahoma.
McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System has 17 locks and dams and many major port operations located along the waterway system.
The McClellan-Kerr system carries 12 million tons of commodities a year and has created 50,000 jobs along its route. The waterway has stimulated $3 billion in private investment since its opening. The transportation facilities of the system have broadened the market for many commodities, such as wood, iron ore, sand, gravel, food and farm products and chemicals.
There are over 65 industries on the Oklahoma segment of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System. The segment between Catoosa and Muskogee provides direct employment for over 4,000 people and an annual payroll of more than $85 million. Indirect employment accounts for another 6,000 jobs and a payroll of $90 million.
