You are right of course. This is something I noticed a while ago, but did
not want to amend on our database.
The fact is that the EH thesaurus only has 'canal aqueduct' as a term and
not 'canal viaduct'.

I have just been asked the following:
If a bridge takes a canal for the express purpose of transpotation of
barges/narrow boats and not for the transfer of water alone is it a viaduct
or an aquaduct?
All the best
