Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park is making improvements to the Water Street entrance following increasing concerns for public and visitor safety. Installation of a bicycle-friendly gate at the Georgetown side of the aqueduct will prevent vehicles from driving upstream and replace the single bollard located 200 feet upstream that had previously served this purpose but that was knocked over frequently by errant cars. https://www.nps.gov/rocr/learn/news/visitor-safety-improvements-along-capital-crescent-trail.htm
