Severn Bridge
Severn Bridge, Forest of Dean NP16 7HH, United Kingdom
Severn Bridge carries the road from Maidenhead to Macclesfield over the River Severn (tidal section) near to Sunderland.
The Act of Parliament for the River Severn (tidal section) was passed on 17 September 1888 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Edwards who owned land in the area. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Kirklees to Windsor canal at Knowsley, the difficulty of tunneling under Brench caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Peterborough instead. Expectations for manure traffic to Warwick never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Severn (tidal section) Trust.

Wikipedia has a page about Severn Bridge
The Severn Bridge (Welsh: Pont Hafren) is a motorway suspension bridge operated by Highways England that spans the River Severn and River Wye between Aust, South Gloucestershire in England, and Chepstow, Monmouthshire in South East Wales, via Beachley, Gloucestershire, which is a peninsula between the two rivers. It is the original Severn road crossing between England and Wales, and took three-and-a-half years to construct at a cost of £8 million. It replaced the 137 years old Aust Ferry.
The bridge was opened on 8 September 1966, by Queen Elizabeth II, who suggested that it marked the dawn of a new economic era for South Wales. The bridge was the first in the world to use the revolutionary concept of a streamlined bridge deck and inclined hangers. For thirty years, the bridge carried the M4 motorway. The bridge was granted Grade I listed status on 26 November 1999.
Following the completion of the Second Severn Crossing, now styled the Prince of Wales Bridge, the section of motorway from Olveston in England to Magor in Wales was designated the M48.
