Trafikled
Historik
1596-1610 anlades i Eskilstunaån en led med slussar tillverkade i trä förbi Torshällafallen under regeringstiden för kung Karl IX. Leden förföll efter kort tid.
1629-1639 byggdes kanalen via Arbogaån. Den har sedan dess byggts om flera gånger.
1775 antogs Erik Nordewall som byggmästare för ombyggnaden av kanalen. (Han kom senare att bygga Trollhätte kanal 1800 års led, en dåtida bedrift)
1819-1830 byggdes kanalen om. von Platen gav kanalen sin nuvarande sträckning. Kanalen överläts av Kronan till Hjälmare kanal- och slussverksbolag i Arboga.
1948 passerades kanalen av 840 fartyg över 10 ton.
Kanalen sköts (1982) av Domänverket.
Slussar
- 9 slussar. Slussmått: längd 35,6 m, bredd 7,1 m, djup 2,1 m.
- Slussarna medgav fartyg av 30 m längd, 6 m bredd och 1,95 m djupgående.
Den har slussar vid Gravudden (2 slussar), Säby (2 slussar), Hällby (3 slussar), Kvarnsjön och Notholmen.
