Forrestal Road Bridge
Forrestal Road, Carderock, Potomac, MD 20817-5700, United States of America
Forrestal Road Bridge carries a footpath over the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal near to Prescorn Tunnel.
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.
