Dredging Completed to Widen Syracuse Channel
State workmen finished dredging to enlarge the channel linking the Syracuse Barge Canal harbor with Onondaga Lake. The channel widened to 130 feet and depth increased to 14 feet, from 80 feet wide and 8 to 11.5 feet deep. Work began last fall and resumed in spring, with sediment flow from Onondaga Creek necessitating periodic dredging. The mile long channel leads to future work between Palmyra and Macedon.
