Info-Work: Investigative Work Between Locks 20 and 21 in March 2022
Issued: March 09, 2022
Peterborough, Ontario, March 08, 2022– Beginning on March 8th, 2022, Parks Canada will be undertaking geotechnical investigations within the canal between Lock 20 – Ashburnham and Lock 21 –Peterborough Lift Lock in Peterborough. These investigations will help inform the design of potential future rehabilitation work on the Peterborough Earth Dams. This work will be weather dependent and is expected to conclude at the end of March. The public is asked to stay clear of the work area.
Over the past few years, Parks Canada has made a historic investment to rehabilitate earth dams along the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site in the City of Peterborough. This rehabilitation has included work on Thompsons Bay Earth Dam, Curtis Creek Earth Dams and Hurdons Earth Dam. These rehabilitated earth dams, which function as water retaining structures along the canal, also provide scenic waterside recreational trails for the public to enjoy while protecting visitors, residents and property.
The Government of Canada is investing over $615 million to support infrastructure work on the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site as part of the largest federal infrastructure plan in the history of Parks Canada.
