1973 Welland Canal Aqueduct over Welland River near Port Robinson, ON

(Satellite)


This is the aqueduct for the bypass canal. What is now the Welland Recreational Canal had an aqueduct over the river in Welland. Today, it has a siphon.

Carl Green: Thank you for the photo credit. If you want to share future images of mine, please use the link to my post rather than downloading the image and uploading it again. That way I get the viewer count, which I get paid for. Thanks. [I clicked the link, but I got an "unavailable" in response. I did not know that Facebook monetized views. That probably explains why I'm seeing so much plagiarism on Facebook.]

When completed, the new Welland Canal Bypass and the rerouting of the Welland River through the new aqueduct created what is now Merritt Island, this island stretches all the way to downtown Welland between the river and the old Canal.
