Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor

Canal and street traffic came into conflict where Peterboro Street crossed the Erie Canal in Canastota's busy commercial district. Engineers fixed the problem with a hydraulic lift bridge. Raised, it let boats through and still carried foot traffic. Lowered, it carried wagons, and later cars and trucks.
Built in 1901, the lift bridge was removed in 1927. The Erie Barge Canal had been re-routed in 1918 through Oneida Lake just north of here, and this part of the canal was closed to navigation.
