Cape Cod Canal
The Cape Cod Canal is an artificial waterway in the state of Massachusetts connecting Cape Cod Bay in the north to Buzzards Bay in the south.
Part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, the approximately 7 mile (11.3 km) long canal traverses the narrow neck of land joining Cape Cod to the state's mainland. Most of its length follows tidal rivers widened to and deepened to at mean low water, shaving s off the journey around the Cape for its approximately 14,000 annual users.〔http://www.nae.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/CapeCodCanal.aspx〕
The town of Sandwich, Massachusetts lies near the canal's north entrance, the Massachusetts Maritime Academy near its south. A swift running current changes direction every six hours and can reach per hour during the receding ebb tide. The waterway is maintained by the United States Army Corps of Engineers and has no toll fees.〔Cape Cod Canal U.S. Army Engineers () accessed 26 Sep 2012〕 It is spanned by the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge and two highway bridges—the Bourne and the Sagamore. Traffic lights at either end govern the approach of vessels over 65 feet (19.8 m).
