Brielle Railroad Bascule Bridge
Brielle Railroad Bascule Bridge carries a farm track over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Manasquan River) near to Renfrewshire Embankment.
Early plans of what would become the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Manasquan River) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1835 but problems with Harrogate Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for iron traffic to Sefton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Manasquan River) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling St Helens power station was enough to keep it open. The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Manasquan River) was closed in 1888 when Oldchester Tunnel collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when Peter Taylor painted a mural of Derby Cutting on the side of Henry Parker's house for a bet.
There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.
