In response to Tropical Storm Debby, the Canal Corporation will be implementing preventive measures on the Mohawk River and potentially affected areas. Starting at 9:00 AM on Thursday, August 8, 2024, the Canal Corporation will lift the movable dams along the Erie Canal between Lock E-8 in Rotterdam and Lock E-15 in Fort Plain. This action will lower the canal to winter levels, resulting in the closure of the canal in this region.
