Culvert

Along its path, the canal crossed natural streams flowing toward the river. To avoid damage to the fragile canal bed, the streams were channeled under the canal through culverts. This arch culvert consisted of a wing wall on the outside of both canal banks and an arched stone channel that passed under the canal bed through which the stream flowed. Portions of both the entrance and exit arch and walls still remain, and the foundation stones of the arch channel that carried water under the canal bed can still be seen between them.
