It didn't look like it was in too bad of shape before the 2022 restoration. Then I read below that it was damaged by floods in 2018 and 2019.

We need a view between 2019 and 2022 to see why restoration work was needed.
"In 2018 and 2019, the aqueduct suffered a series of failures due to deterioration and exceptional rain events. With assistance from local and state agencies, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources prevented complete loss of the structure and successfully restored the aqueduct." [OhioDNR]
I forgot that an aqueduct can be ruined in just a day or two because of a flood. That is what happened to the Morris Nettle Creek Aqueduct on the Illinois & Michigan Canal in April 2013. I'm glad to see that Ohio did a good restoration in just a few years. That is certainly better than what Illinois has done for their canal even though it is part of a National Heritage Trail.
