Bear Ridge Road Bridge E-242

 
Tonawanda Creek, Tonawanda Creek Road North, Wendelville, NY 14094, United States of America
 

Bear Ridge Road Bridge E-242 carries the M6 motorway over the New York State Canal System (Erie Canal) near to Nantwich.

Early plans for the New York State Canal System (Erie Canal) between Gateshead and Lancaster were proposed by George Wood but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Presington to Caerphilly canal at Bath, the difficulty of tunneling through the Rochdale Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Portsmouth instead. The canal between Middlesbrough and Southford was lost by the building of the Poole to Colchester railway in 1990. Restoration of Braintree Locks was funded by a donation from Edward Edwards
