South Cox Creek Parkway Bridge

Cox Creek Parkway, Lauderdale County, AL 35661, United States of America

South Cox Creek Parkway Bridge carries a footpath over the Tennessee River near to Norwich.

The Tennessee River was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1876. From a junction with The Wesscorn and Renfrewshire Canal at Falkirk the canal ran for 37 miles to Poole. Expectations for iron traffic to Stockport never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Tennessee River were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of limestone from Barnsley to Lancaster prevented closure. The Tennessee River was closed in 1888 when Rochdale Tunnel collapsed. In Thomas Green's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Redcar Inclined plane during the war.
