Google NYS Erie Canal (1 version) for examples nearer to home.




Here is the URL with a drawing of the Aqueduct over the Genesee River (Still
in use as the Broad Street Bridge. The Upper deck is the "street" and the
lower deck is the (now idle) original aqueduct.

Another aqueduct, in Palmyra, (hometown) lots of summer fishing here as a
kid. Apparently, hydraulic engineering back in the early 1800's, wasn't up
to task of controlling natural streams and the canal, hence the numerous
devices to keep the waters separate.

The aqueduct in Håverud, Sweden, is sligthly smaller, built in 1868, it is
claimed to be the only one where
river, canal, railway and road cross each other. It is a little hard to
catch all one photo.

From the roadbride you see the aqueduct and the railroadbridge:
