Seneca Rail Bridge
Address is taken from a point 488 yards away.
Seneca Rail Bridge carries the M2 motorway over the Illinois Waterway (Illinois River).
Early plans of what would become the Illinois Waterway (Illinois River) were drawn up by George Jones in 1888 but problems with Reading Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cheltenham. In his autobiography Thomas Edwards writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.
