Morris Bridge
Morris Bridge carries the road from Westchester to Bolton over the Illinois Waterway (Illinois River) just past the junction with The Presley and Exeter Canal.
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 dual carriageway over the canal.
