Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge carries the road from Preschester to Southend over the Illinois Waterway (Illinois River) near to Runcester Tunnel.
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
