The replacement of the Cuttalossa Culvert is finished, and the towpath has been reopened!

The towpath bank collapse north of Wy-Hit-Tuk Park is repaired. The towpath is open and the Lehigh River gate has been opened to refill the Canal gradually.

The High Falls Creek Culvert project is back in gear, and the materials to sleeve the full length of the culvert are on order.

Bi-State Construction is expected to begin repairing the towpath bank collapse north of Wy-Hit-Tuk Park in Easton tomorrow.

The Cuttalossa Culvert replacement project is nearly finished.

The engineering consultant has determined that sleeving the entire length of the High Falls Creek culvert will serve as a permanent repair. This is very good news because the project can move forward quickly rather than waiting for a new structure to be designed, funded and bid.

Towpath Section Closed After Bank Collapse, Water Level to Drop

Towpath Section Closed After Bank Collapse, Water Level to Drop

August 21, 2015

Bank-break-north-Wy-Hit-Tuk
Today’s update on the towpath bank collapse in Easton: The collapse is located approximately one mile north of Wy-Hit-Tuk Park. The opening is approximately 10 feet wide and extends from the Canal water line toward the River wall about 12 feet.

The Park has CLOSED THE TOWPATH FROM THE FORKS OF THE DELAWARE IN EASTON TO WY-HIT-TUK PARK. To prevent further erosion, the gate at the Lehigh River will be closed and the water level in the Canal will drop.

The Park will be on alert for stranded fish and other aquatic life. If you see any creatures in distress, please send out an alert. Everyone is seeking a solution. The Canal isn’t catching any breaks so far this year.
