Enlarged Double Lock No. 23, Old Erie Canal
Enlarged Double Lock No. 23, Old Erie Canal, Canal lock in Rotterdam, United States.
The limestone block structure contains two chambers measuring 110 feet long and 18 feet wide, with a central pier spanning 100 feet in length.
Built between 1841 and 1842, Lock 23 served as a crucial component of the First Enlargement project to expand Erie Canal infrastructure for increased maritime traffic.
The lock represents early American engineering achievements, demonstrating the advanced construction methods used in developing the Erie Canal transportation network.
Visitors can access the site through walking paths and green spaces, which now form part of the Mohawk-Hudson Bike Trail system.
Local students from Union College constructed a replica of a board and batten locktender's hut at the site between 2000 and 2003.
