Mississippi River has enough water to stay open: Senator Durbin
(Reuters) - The drought-drained Mississippi River will stay open for commerce as workers make progress clearing rock from a critical stretch of the nation's busiest waterway, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin said on Monday after touring the river on a boat.
The White House has said "any option is on the table" to keep the river open to commerce if water levels drop too low, Durbin said in a phone interview.
