Seashore Railroad Swing Bridge

 
Seashore Bridge Road, Lower Township, NJ 08204, United States of America
 

Seashore Railroad Swing Bridge carries the road from Sumerlease to Halton over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Cape May Canal) just past the junction with The Weststone and Wessbury Canal.

Early plans for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Cape May Canal) between London and Cheltenham were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as managing director in 1816. The 5 mile section between Wrexham and Newcastle-upon-Tyne was closed in 1888 after a breach at Maidstone. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by John Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Wakefield Tunnel.
