National Park Service To Begin $12.7 Million Project On Historic C&O Canal

The National Park Service will carry out a large-scale $12.7 million preservation and rehabilitation project on the historic C&O Canal in Georgetown, District of Columbia, to protect key parts of the country’s early transportation history and reduce the risk of flooding during storms and high-water events.

Construction activities will likely require intermittent towpath detours in Georgetown.
