is there any truth.....

to the story about the canal being closed this year?
I had read an article that I believed to be true stated that starting in May and running through November they will be dredging the canal from west to eat.
If this is indeed true, it will ruin the entire season.
Even if they start at the west end in May, it will cloud the water on every easterly flow and will probably destroy the herring run.

My guess it was an April Fool's joke.

I think it was a joke, as all the articles relating to dredging the canal are from 2001.

That article was actually dated 2002. I just wanted to stir the pot a little more

However, in talking with people, it would not shock me any if that article was true in that, with a federal job it would take about 4 years to get anything going!
