Erie Canal Navigation Season Closing Soon, Embankment Work to
Continue
DIR By: Doug K

In anticipation of upcoming Embankment Integrity Work east of
Rochester, and to facilitate more required inspections of
Embankment Dams, Retaining Walls and Lock Structures the Canal
Corporation is closing EARLY yet again.

The ECNA has contacted the NYCC to see if Trail Closures will be
done on areas that are being renovated as part of the new
Earthen Embankment Integrity Program (EEIP).
Last year several "near-misses" were reported during Dam Repairs
in the Western End of the Embankment Work Zones by both Erie
Canal Neighbor's as well as Trail Users who didn't heed the
warning about Trails Under Repair. Hoping the NYCC will CLOSE
the Canal's Service & Inspection Road, aka the Erie Canal Trail,
to avoid any potential conflicts between humans and large
construction equipment removing unsafe dam vegetation in the
off-season canal work. Last year there were several reported
cases where people should not have been wandering through Canal
Embankment Re-Construction Zones.
We will let you know what the Canal Corporation has to say on
the topic of Work Zone Safety in their new EEIP efforts

The Canal Corporation has posted the closing date at least half
a dozen times now...seem to be serious about making sure all
recreational traffic is off the waterway by that date. The best
way to get information on what the Canal Waterway is doing...
Notice to Mariners

Could mean there will be an early draining for inspection
purposes and embankment dam repairs.. ONE week to go
