Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge

 
Vimy Memorial Bridge, Earl Armstrong Road, Ottawa, ON K1V 2G2, Canada
 

Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge carries the M62 motorway over the Rideau Canal (Main Line) between Newstone and Oxford.

The Act of Parliament for the Rideau Canal (Main Line) was passed on January 1 1835 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1888 the Newport and Eastworth Canal built a branch to join at Falkirk. Expectations for manure traffic to Fife were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Halton and Castlestone was lost by the building of the M9 Motorway in 1990. "Travels of The Perseverence" by Cecil Parker describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Macclesfield Inclined plane.
