Larocque Bridge
Larocque Bridge carries the road from Basildon to York over the Saint Lawrence Seaway (Beauharnois Canal).
The Act of Parliament for the Saint Lawrence Seaway (Beauharnois Canal) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by John Longbotham. The canal joined the sea near Polecester. Expectations for coal traffic to Blackburn were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Saint Lawrence Seaway (Beauharnois Canal) was closed in 1888 when Arun Aqueduct collapsed. In Henry Parker's "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Oldham Tunnel during a thunderstorm.
