 PALMYRA – The Erie Canal was closed Monday as the state worked to raise
an 83-year-old hydraulic dredger that sank in about 14 feet of water
near the Maple Avenue bridge over the weekend.
Carmella Mondello, director of the state Canal Corporation, said the
water level in the canal between the Palmyra and Newark locks was being

became submerged in the canal on Saturday.
