The 2010 canal season officially ends Monday, the New York State Canal Corp. said.
Water will be drained from the canal system, allowing corporation workers to repair equipment used to operate 57 locks and 20 lift bridges along the waterways, officials said.
The navigation season was the 185th for the system.
“During this navigation season we witnessed a nearly 2 percent increase in traffic, and more events and festivals happening than ever before,” canal corporation Director Carmella Mantello said in the statement.
