Great Canal Slide Blocks Ditch Dredging Timeline
A massive slide in the Gaillard Cut shifts about 10.6 million cubic yards of earth, halting canal shipping. Engineers estimate only heavy dredging can remove the mass, likely delaying opening of a permanent channel into the canal until early next year. The failure to stabilize the banks has raised the water surface by as much as 15 feet, with the motion spanning roughly 2,600 feet along the river bend and 1,500 feet back from the center of the canal prism.
