Oswego Canal Lock O-2 Fulton, NY |
 |
|
The northbound view of Oswego Canal Lock O-2 shows a bridge laying right across the lock. The bridge has only 5 feet clearance when the lock is full, so you must stay south of it, when traveling either direction. It's a fixed bridge, but the lock drops 18 feet, so when empty, clearance is no problem.

Another look at the bridge with the lock emptied and the gates opening. The clearance is now 23 feet.

A Nordic Tug exits the lock, traveling northward.

Sept 2013, I discovered to my astonishment that the fixed bridge over the lock is actually a functional swing bridge!
