iron and dressed stone respectively. Cast iron trough

aqueduct was fabricated in situ out of rectangular cast iron
sections which are bolted together. Each section has a large
tension flange, a small compression flange, and webbed side
flanges. Each end has stop plank housings. Remedial measures
which involved using the stone arch of the tow-path bridge
