Potomac Street Bridge

 
J.Crew, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail, Washington, DC 20057, United States of America
 

Potomac Street Bridge carries a farm track over the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

The Act of Parliament for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was passed on January 1 1888 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. Expectations for coal traffic to Newbury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1990 the canal became famous when John Edwards swam through Wolverhampton Embankment in 17 minutes live on television.
