Marne–Rhine Canal, Summit level canal in northeastern France
The Marne-Rhine Canal extends for 313 kilometers, connecting the Marne River at Vitry-le-François with the Rhine River near Strasbourg through varied landscapes.
The canal construction commenced in 1838 and reached completion in 1853, marking a significant advancement in French transportation infrastructure during the industrial period.
The waterway passes through multiple French regions, including Marne, Meuse, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Moselle, and Bas-Rhin, each contributing distinct regional characteristics.
Navigation specifications limit vessel dimensions to 38.50 meters in length and 5.05 meters in width, with 154 locks managing water levels throughout the route.
The Saint-Louis-Arzviller inclined plane replaced 17 traditional locks, demonstrating an innovative engineering solution for managing elevation changes in canal navigation.
