NEW YORK STATE CANAL SYSTEM

Chart 14786

Mariners are advised that a strong crosscurrent may affect vessel maneuverability immediately above Lock C-2 in Mechanicville. This crosscurrent is related to operations at an adjacent hydroelectric facility not under ownership or control of the Canal Corporation. Vessels should remain mid channel and stay well clear of cribbing clusters when transiting this area.

For updates and information, mariners are advised to monitor 1-800-4CANAL4 and www.nyscanals.gov. Additionally, mariners may sign up for automatic email and text message alerts through the new Canal TRANSalert service. This service is offered to notify mariners of major incidents and emergencies that may affect navigation on the New York State Canal System. To register for this service, please visit www.nyscanals.gov/tas/.
