Canal de Roubaix

The Canal de Roubaix is a trench in northern France. It joins the Canal de la Deule close Marquette-lez-Lille to the Canal de l'Espierres in Belgium at Leers, only east of the previous material assembling town Roubaix. It is 20 km long with 12 locks. The Belgian waterway proceeds with 8.4 km and three bolts past the outskirt to the intersection with the stream Escaut. The trench fell into neglect in 1985 and would have been infilled for a urban freeway. Rather, the channel was fixed and revived in September 2009. The primary typical working seasons, in the wake of digging chips away at the Belgian channel, was 2011.

The trench has been found by all watercraft proprietors who use it to be a shockingly pleasant route, considering the modern character of a significant part of the course and the monetary decrease languished by the populace over decades. The summit level is a piece of the huge urban recovery territory of L'Union, in Tourcoing and Roubaix. As conjecture by the initiators of the rebuilding venture, the revived waterway has infused new life and a feeling of pride in this piece of the nearby mechanical legacy.
