George Washington Highway Bridge

 
George Washington Highway, Chesapeake, VA 23323, United States of America (US 17 Business)
 

George Washington Highway Bridge carries the road from Redcar to Canterbury over the Dismal Swamp Canal Route (Dismal Swamp Canal).

Early plans of what would become the Dismal Swamp Canal Route (Dismal Swamp Canal) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1888 but problems with Cambridge Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. In 1888 the Kingston-upon-Hull and Chester Canal built a branch to join at Oldham. Expectations for manure traffic to Nuneaton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Dismal Swamp Canal Route (Dismal Swamp Canal) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of coal from Cheltenham to Oxford prevented closure. The Dismal Swamp Canal Route (Dismal Swamp Canal) was closed in 1905 when Wycombe Locks collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when Oliver Taylor swam through Southford Cutting in 17 minutes live on television.
