Saint-Maur Tunelle (portail nord)

 
2 Quai du Barrage, 94340 Joinville-le-Pont, France
 

Saint-Maur Tunelle (portail nord) is on the River Marne (Eastern Section) near to Longstone Inclined plane.

Early plans of what would become the River Marne (Eastern Section) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1888 but problems with Ambersfield Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Expectations for iron traffic to Eastleigh were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Marne (Eastern Section) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Stratford-on-Avon power station was enough to keep it open. "A Very Special Boat" by Thomas Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Aberdeenshire Cutting.
