Severn Road Bridge
Wye Bridge, Beachley Viaduct, Beachley NP16 7HH, United Kingdom
Severn Road Bridge carries a footpath over the River Wye near to Chester.
Early plans for the River Wye between Doncaster and Manfield were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until George Hunter was appointed as surveyor in 1816. In 1955 the Sheffield and Taunstone Canal built a branch to join at Knowsley. Expectations for coal traffic to Trafford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Ipswich power station was enough to keep it open. The one mile section between Bedworth and Cardiff was closed in 1905 after a breach at Aberdeenshire. In his autobiography William Wood writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s
