Lock was closed to boaters as crews worked to stabilize foundation of Powerhouse building; another week-long closure will be necessary later this season, Parks Canada says
The recreational lock at the Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site will reopen to boaters at 9 a.m. Monday, July 29, Parks Canada has announced.
“Before the end of the operational season, additional in-ground work is anticipated which will require a week-long closure. Parks Canada will provide an additional project update once these construction plans have been confirmed,” Parks Canada stated in a release. That $7.4 million is specifically earmarked for structurally stabilizing the Powerhouse. Work at that building began in late Dec. 2023 and is expected to continue for approximately two years.
