Point of Rocks Bridge
Catoctin Mountain Highway, Point of Rocks, Frederick County, MD 21777, United States of America
Point of Rocks Bridge carries the M2 motorway over the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was passed on January 1 1888 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. Expectations for coal traffic to Newbury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1990 the canal became famous when John Edwards swam through Wolverhampton Embankment in 17 minutes live on television.
