The aqueduct in the Erie Canal was used to carry the canal over rivers and other waterways, allowing for a continuous navigation route. These structures elevated the canal above the surrounding terrain and ensured that boats could traverse areas where natural water bodies intersected with the canal's path. The aqueducts were essential for maintaining the canal's functionality and efficiency, enabling the transport of goods across New York State. Notably, the most famous aqueduct on the Erie Canal is the Schoharie Crossing, which exemplifies this engineering achievement.
