Lyric Opera Bridge
Lyric Opera Bridge carries the road from Rotherham to Reading over the Illinois Waterway (Chicago River).
Early plans for the Illinois Waterway (Chicago River) between Oldchester and Cheltenham were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. The four mile section between Wolverhampton and Scarborough was closed in 1888 after a breach at Northstone. In his autobiography John Green writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
