 culvert, interesting place, road tunnel

"Medina Culvert, built in 1823, is located about 1¾ miles east of the Medina terminal and can be reached by the towpath. A culvert was chosen as more economical than a bridge because the canal crosses a valley here on a berm, and the surrounding land is some 20 feet lower than the canal. It's the only place on the NY canal system where a road crosses under the canal."
