A navigable canal linking tributaries of the Vistula and the Neman, built in 1825–1839 by the authorities of the Kingdom of Poland, then part of the Russian Empire. The design was drawn up in 1823–1824 by Ignacy Prądzyński, and in 1833–1839 the works were led by the hydraulic engineer Teodor Urbański.
