NEW YORK STATE CANAL SYSTEM

Mariners are advised that Wednesday, July 1, 2009 they may experience periodic delays due to a large commercial shipment being offloaded between Lock C-7 and C-8 in Fort Edward. This activity will occur from 7:00 AM to 12:00 Noon.

This work is not part of the Hudson River Dredging Project.

The Canal Corporation appreciates the public’s patience.
