Congress St Bridge
1053 31st Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20566, United States of America
Congress St Bridge carries the road from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Plymouth 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.
