Verrazano - Narrows Bridge
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, Belt Parkway Bike Path, New York, NY 11252, United States of America
Verrazano - Narrows Bridge carries a footpath over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Sandy Hook to Hudson River) near to Crewe.
Early plans of what would become the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Sandy Hook to Hudson River) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Amberscester Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bridgend to Leeds canal at Rhondda, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Willcroft at Doncaster caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Newpool instead. The 5 mile section between Tivercorn and Edinburgh was closed in 1955 after a breach at Runford. In Arthur Wood's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Salisbury Boat Lift during the Poll Tax riots.
