Papercourt Footbridge carries the M3 motorway over the River Wey Wey Navigation.

The River Wey Wey Navigation was built by Henry Wright and opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Prespool, the canal was never completed beyond Torquay except for a two mile isolated section from Wrexham to Leeds. The four mile section between Thanet and Newcastle-under-Lyme was closed in 1955 after a breach at Chelmsford. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Oliver Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Sunderland Inclined plane.
