And last but not least not a tunnel: The Avon Aqueduct.

Both – the Falkirk Tunnel and the Avon Aqueduct – are a bit scary. The tunnel because of "slippery when wet and slimy" (I managed to cycle through though but I wouldn't do it again). The aqueduct because the paving is so rough and the tow path so narrow that you risk to fall into the canal.

3/3

For #RomanSiteSaturday a section of the #Roman Eifel #aqueduct that supplied water to the city of Cologne. The vaulted underground tunnel with an inspection shaft at Mechernich-Breitenbenden was unearthed during construction work in the late 1970s. The estimated maximum flow rate of the aqueduct was 250 liters per second. At that rate, the aqueduct would have supplied Cologne with 20 million liters of water each day!

Boating over a huge canal for seagoing ships on a rotating aqueduct, at Patricroft.

The aqueduct is wide enough for broadbeam barges, almost twice the 6½-foot wide boat I'm on. Both formats are miniscule compared to true ships.

The video is heavily compressed, so distorted, but you can see the steel structure, and see that we're up very high, crossing the Barton Swing Aqueduct over the Manchester Ship Canal below.
