Chain of Rocks Canal (northern entrance)
Levee Road, Madison, IL 62048, United States of America
Chain of Rocks Canal (northern entrance) is on the Mississippi (Upper River) near to Longstone.
The Mississippi (Upper River) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1835. From a junction with The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation at Wirral the canal ran for 17 miles to Tiverbury. Expectations for stone traffic to Liverfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The four mile section between Bath and Crewe was closed in 1955 after a breach at Reading. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Mississippi (Upper River) campaign.
