12/10/2021 Update: Sphar’s Camelback Bridge (MILE 42.7 – 41.84) the bridge has been deconstructed and is no longer spanning the towpath and canal- the towpath is OPEN. This bridge is one of six remaining authentic camelback bridges that can be found along the entire 58.9 mile length of the Canal and they are an iconic structure to the two-hundred year old National Historic Landmark. The deconstruction of the bridge prepares the site for future bridge abutment repairs and the eventual rehabilitation of the superstructure. When it is time for the abutments to be repaired the towpath the towpath will be temporarily closed- check back for status updates related to this future closure. Upon access being restored this advisory will be removed.
