State invests more than $6 million in the rebuilding of the Lumbertville Aqueduct and the High Falls Sub Canal Culvert.

SOLEBURY TOWNSHIP, PA — State and local officials gathered at the Delaware Canal State Park in Lumberville on Friday to mark the completion of two major infrastructure projects totaling more than $6 million.

Cindy Adams Dunn, the secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, joined State Sen. Steve Santarsiero and State Rep. Tim Brennan to mark the completion of two key park projects – the Lumberville Aqueduct in Solebury and the High Falls Sub Canal Culvert in Upper Black Eddy, both of which were severely damaged during Tropical Storm Ida in 2021.

“The Delaware Canal is a treasured historic and recreational corridor, and these investments help ensure it will be enjoyed for generations,” said Secretary Dunn. “Along its 60-mile route, the canal connects many communities that care deeply about this landscape. Restoring and improving these structures strengthens resiliency, protects our heritage, and supports the outdoor experiences people love.”
