Editing Kennet and Avon Canal (section)

====Completion====
The final engineering task was the completion of the [[Caen Hill Locks]] at Devizes.<ref name=russell7to10/><ref name=allsop5>{{harvnb |Allsop |1987 |p=5}}</ref> While the lock flight was under construction, a [[Wagonway|horse-drawn railway]] provided a link between Foxhangers at the bottom of the flight and Devizes at the top, the remains of which can be seen under the towpath arches in the road bridges over the canal.<ref name=pearson27>{{harvnb |Pearson |2003 |p=27}}</ref>

The canal opened to through-traffic in 1810, after 16 years of construction. As well as Caen Hill Locks, other major structures included the [[Dundas Aqueduct|Dundas]] and [[Avoncliff Aqueduct|Avoncliff]] [[Navigable aqueduct|aqueducts]], the [[Bruce Tunnel]] near Savernake Forest, and the [[pumping station]]s at [[Claverton Pumping Station|Claverton]] and [[Crofton Pumping Station|Crofton]], needed to overcome water supply difficulties.
