Sainte-Catherine Lock and 1957 Point Levant Bridge on the St. Lawrence Seaway

Lock: (Satellite)
Bridge: (Historic Bridges; 3D Satellite)

"Each lock is 233.5 metres long (766 feet), 24.4 metres wide (80 feet) and 9.1 metres deep (30 feet) over the sill. A lock fills with approximately 91 million litres of water (24 million gallons) in just 7 to 10 minutes. Getting through a lock takes about 45 minutes." [GreatLakes-Seaway]

Cote Ste Catherine Lock, Sainte-Catherine, QC, the second lock in the St.Lawrence



"The Chem Hydra got stuck shortly after 12:30 a.m. Friday near the Sainte-Catherine Lock on Montreal's South Shore. By 7 p.m., the tanker had been dislodged and moored, or parked, near the Lock." No one was injured. It was carrying chemicals, but nothing leaked. Its engine is said to have failed. [ctvnews] It is a double-hulled bulk carrier. [archyde]
