Eggner Ferry Bridge
Eggner Ferry Bridge carries a farm track over the Tennessee River near to Manchester Inclined plane.
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.
There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Eggner Ferry Bridge
Eggner Ferry Bridge, also known as Eggner's Ferry Bridge, is a four-lane bridge in Trigg and Marshall counties in the U.S. state of Kentucky. The current through-arch bridge opened to traffic on April 7, 2016, replacing a two-lane bowstring truss bridge constructed in 1932. The bridge carries US 68 and Kentucky Route 80 across Kentucky Lake. The main span of the original 1932 bridge collapsed on January 26, 2012 after it was hit by a ship. There were no injuries. The bridge was repaired and reopened to traffic on May 25 of that year. On the morning of July 25, 2016, the middle four spans of the old Eggner's Ferry Bridge were brought down using controlled explosives.
