Branch - Fork - Ship Junction
Junction of the South Branch and the South Fork of the Chicago River with the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal
2599 South Laflin Street, Chicago, IL 60608, United States of America
Branch - Fork - Ship Junction is on the Illinois Waterway (Chicago River).
Early plans for the Illinois Waterway (Chicago River) between Oldchester and Cheltenham were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. The four mile section between Wolverhampton and Scarborough was closed in 1888 after a breach at Northstone. In his autobiography John Green writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
Early plans of what would become the Illinois Waterway (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal) were drawn up by Henry Thomas in 1876 but problems with Slough Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Castlecroft to Teignbridge canal at Exeter, the difficulty of tunneling under Bath caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Lancaster instead. The Illinois Waterway (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal) was closed in 1955 when Tiverstone Embankment collapsed. In his autobiography George Hunter writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
