This proposed schedule of operations could be impacted by the COVID pandemic and/or the need to repair critical infrastructure, the canal system announcement said.

The public will be notified accordingly through the Notice to Mariners system if this occurs.

There are no tolls or fees for recreational use of the Canal system in 2022.
