201 years after the original Champlain Canal opened, today’s canal is still a vital transportation artery that allows for bulk and oversized specialty cargo to be moved between Canada, the Adirondacks, Lake Champlain, the Hudson River, and New York City.
Earlier this week, the first of several barges each carrying ~12.5 miles of electrical cable to support the Champlain Hudson Power Express Project, locked through the canal en route to Lake Champlain. Each spool of cable weighs 2.4 million pounds and the barges were designed to fit within the locks by mere inches.
The aerial photographs shown here captured the tug and barge at Lock C-11 in Comstock and Lock C-12 in Whitehall, both in northern Washington County.
