Keweenaw icebreaking starts Monday

HOUGHTON, MI--   At the request of local officials the U.S. Coast Guard will conduct ice-breaking operations in the Keweenaw Waterway starting Monday.

The cutter will make its approach from the east and enter at Keweenaw Bay. It will transit west through Portage Lake, ending at the upper entry and exiting into the open waters of Lake Superior.

All recreational users of the Keweenaw Waterway should plan their activities carefully and use caution near the ice.
