chambly canal

The Chambly Canal is a National Historic Site of Canada in the Province of Quebec, running along the Richelieu River past St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Chambly. Building commenced in 1831 and the canal opened in 1843. It served as a major commercial route during a time of heightened trade between the United States and Canada. Trade dwindled after World War I, and as of the 1970s, traffic has been replaced by recreational vessels. William Lauder, a Scots-Quebecer stonemason, was one of the prime contractors who built the canal. The Canal has 10 bridges and 9 hand operated locks.
