Nine Mile Creek Aqueduct is the ruin of a stone and wood aqueduct of the Erie Canal over Nine Mile Creek in Camillus, New York. It was built in 1841 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
The towpath part of the structure has four arches of 30 feet each. The structure was built of stone joined by a marine cement that was relatively new at the time, but which has endured well.[2],[3]
The aqueduct is within the Camillus Erie Canal Park. Plans are afoot to restore the wooden bottom and sides of the aqueduct, so that it can carry water again, which would enable reconnection of the two one-mile (1.6 km) segments of the Erie Canal on either side.
In August 2009, boats traversed the restored aqueduct for the first time since 1917.
