A17 Road Bridge
A17 Road Bridge carries the road from Cardiff to Polebury over the River Witham (Sleaford Navigation - un-navigable section) near to Peterborough Cutting.
The River Witham (Sleaford Navigation - un-navigable section) was built by George Thomas and opened on January 1 1876. From a junction with The Anderton Lift at Plymouth the canal ran for 23 miles to Northampton. Expectations for pottery traffic to Polehampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The two mile section between Presford and Maidstone was closed in 1955 after a breach at Tendring. Restoration of Wesston Embankment was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Witham (Sleaford Navigation - un-navigable section) campaign

There is a bridge here which takes a dual carriageway over the canal.
