More Sinkholes to Repair

Wednesday, November 9

Several additional sinkholes were discovered in canal prism between Raubsville and Easton.  The state engineers and Bi-State Construction have investigated.  They will be fixed, but rewatering of the Canal will be delayed a few weeks.

Yes, that is water. It’s covered with autumn leaves and duckweed that has backed up behind the lock gate.

The masons have finished repairing the stone walls at Woody’s Camelback Bridge south of Easton and at Groundhog Lock in Raubsville.  The gate that allows Lehigh River water to flow into the Canal has been opened a bit so that the Easton to Groundhog Lock section can be watered.

Repairs continue on the holes in the prism  near Mueller’s Store and at Lock 20.
