At 85' (26m), this crossing was twice as wide as the canal. Normally, an aqueduct is not as wide as the canal, they are typically as narrow as a lock. But the builders considered this to be a culvert, and they are as wide as the canal to avoid a bottleneck that might create a traffic jam. But why is it twice as wide? Probably because the canal crossed the creek at an angle.
