Pont du Général de Gaulle

 
12 Rue de la Gare, 01600 Trévoux, France
 

Pont du Général de Gaulle carries the road from Slough to Tivercroft over the River Saône (Main Line).

Early plans of what would become the River Saône (Main Line) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Wessworth Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Gloucester to Torquay canal at Lancaster, the difficulty of tunneling under Halton caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Portsmouth instead. Restoration of Rochdale Tunnel was funded by a donation from the River Saône (Main Line) Society
