Rehabilitation work has begun on a portion of the canal embankment in the Village of Spencerport. The work will take place on a 1,200-foot-long area on the south side of the canal just east of Trimmer Road. The repairs require the removal of trees along the edge of the canal in conjunction with the placement of clay and stone to the canal embankment for reinforcement, according to the New York State Canal Corporation.
This project, necessary to ensure the structural integrity of the Canal and protect low-lying areas, is expected to be completed in May 2013 and is part of the Canal Corporation’s system-wide winter work program, according to a press release.
