For Immediate Release: 12/7/2015
The New York State Canal Corporation today announced that ongoing construction in the vicinity of Lock E-34/35 in the City of Lockport will require the temporary closure of a portion of the Canalway Trail adjacent to the lock facility. This closure will begin today, Monday, Dec. 7, and is expected to continue until at least Friday, Dec. 11.
This portion of the Canalway Trail will be reopened as soon as conditions allow.
The Canal Corporation appreciates the public's patience while the repairs are being made.
The Erie Canal Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program invites artists to explore the past, present, and future of this iconic waterway through their unique artistic lenses. A partnership between the New York State Canal Corporation and the Erie Canal Museum, the AIR program is a celebration of creativity, history, and stewardship.
The program supports the revitalization of the Erie Canal by blending art with storytelling to illuminate its cultural, environmental, and historical significance. Through exhibitions, events, and public programs, the AIR program brings new perspectives to the Canal's lasting impact on New York State and the nation.
We are thrilled to welcome the 2025 Artists-in-Residence, Kari Varner and Sarah Cameron Sunde, who will begin their year-long exploration of the Erie Canal. Stay tuned for updates on their journey!
