Veteran's Memorial Bridge
Veteran's Memorial Bridge carries the M2 motorway over the New York State Canal System (Cayuga - Seneca Canal, Main Line) near to Luton Locks.
The New York State Canal System (Cayuga - Seneca Canal, Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for stone traffic to Northcorn were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The three mile section between Brighton and Southend was closed in 1955 after a breach at Willcroft. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Harding, there is no evidence that William Wood ever made a model of Norwich Tunnel out of matchsticks for a bet
There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Veteran's Memorial Bridge
A veteran (from Latin vetus, meaning "old") is a person who has a long career (and is usually adept and esteemed) in a particular occupation or field. A military veteran is a person who has served and is no longer serving in a military. A military veteran that has served directly in combat in a war is further defined as a war veteran (although not all military conflicts, or areas in which armed combat took place, are necessarily referred to as wars).
Military veterans are unique as a group as their lived experience is so strongly connected to the conduct of war in general and application of professional violence in particular. Therefore, there are a large body of knowledge developed through centuries of scholarly studies that seek to describe, understand and explain their lived experience in and out of service. Griffith with colleagues provides an overview of this research field that addresses veterans general health, transition from military service to civilian life, homelessness, veteran employment, civic engagement and veteran identity as recurrent investigative topics in the field.
