Before the closure of the canal, it has deepened from 10.68 meters to 11.42 meters and the cross-section of the canal expanded from 1250 meters to 2 meters to 1800 meters. Expansion in two stages. The first phase should be completed in mid-1980 and the second phase should be completed in three years. In the first phase, the cross-section of the river bed expanded from 1,800 to 2,700 to 2,
