Motala Bridge
Motala Bridge carries the M4 motorway over the Göta Waterway (Lake Vättern) between Sumerlease and Stoke-on-Trent.
The Göta Waterway (Lake Vättern) was built by Edward Thomas and opened on 17 September 1782. In 1955 the Renfrewshire and Mancester Canal built a branch to join at Longbury. Expectations for iron traffic to Derby were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Göta Waterway (Lake Vättern) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Wigan kept it open. In Barry Wood's "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Guildford Aqueduct during a thunderstorm.

There is a bridge here which takes a motorway over the canal.
