After a tentative deal was struck to end a week-long strike by Canadian workers on the St. Lawrence Seaway, the trade route connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean is expected to reopen October 30.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the nonprofit company that operates the Canadian side of the seaway reached a wage deal October 29 with Unifor, the trade union representing 360 workers who operate lock systems. 

The agreement is set to be ratified by employees in the coming days, but workers are set to return to work on the morning of October 30, and St. Lawrence Seaway Management said it would begin a recovery plan and start passing ships progressively.

The walkout marked the first strike-related closure of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway system since mid-1968.
