Located in the east of the Somme department, the “Santerre Haute-Somme” territory is already part of a tradition of economic and touristic river navigation thanks to the presence of the Canal du Nord. It is also made up of very varied spaces: agricultural plateau, Somme valley, urban environment and remarkable natural sites.
Nesle and Péronne are the two main towns and will each host an inland port. In total, the territory crossed by the Seine-Nord Europe Canal has nearly 20 inhabitants.
traveled between Ercheu and Equancourt
crossed by the Canal
Between Ercheu and Equancourt, the Canal will stretch for 45 kilometers , cross 26 municipalities, and consist of two reaches connected by a lock. Along the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, no fewer than 30 engineering structures will be built, including two locks located in the municipality of Allaines and two canal bridges ; the remainder will primarily serve to improve road access.
In addition, 16 environmental development sites, representing 350 hectares , will also be undertaken. These will both revitalize the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, ensure ecological continuity from one bank to the other, and restore degraded natural environments.
