Birmingham New Road Bridge
Birmingham New Road Bridge carries the road from Wrexham to Stoke-on-Trent over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 1 - Birmingham End).
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 1 - Birmingham End) was built by John Longbotham and opened on 17 September 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Kingston-upon-Hull to Luton canal at Tiverford, the difficulty of tunneling through the Willcorn Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Sefton instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Newbury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In his autobiography Thomas Taylor writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s

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