Valley City Eagle Bridges
Valley City Eagle Bridges carries the road from Wokingham to Sumerlease over the Illinois Waterway (Illinois River) near to York Boat Lift.
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 motorway over the canal.
