Economic problems in the late 1830s had halted construction for a number of years, and completion took longer than originally anticipated. The Sandy and Beaver connected Bolivar, Ohio, and Glasgow, Pennsylvania. The canal extended approximately seventy-three miles and contained ninety locks)
    • found: Wikipedia, Jan. 22, 2009(The Sandy and Beaver Canal ran 73 miles (117 km) from the Ohio and Erie Canal at Bolivar, Ohio, to the Ohio River at Glasgow, Pennsylvania. It had 90 locks, was chartered in 1828 and completed in 1848. However, the middle section of the canal had many problems from the beginning and fell into disrepair. The canal ceased to operate in 1852, when the Cold Run Reservoir Dam outside of Lisbon, Ohio, broke, ruining a large portion of the canal. Only 0.75 miles (1 km) of this privately funded canal lay in Pennsylvania; the rest was in Ohio)
