The Erie Canal, constructed from 1818 to 1825, stretches 365 miles from the Hudson River to Lake Erie, linking the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. When first built, the Erie Canal cut transportation costs by a whopping 95%. The contribution of the canal to the worth of the New York region is incalculable. It remains in use to this day as the New York State Barge Canal.
