Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor).
There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Falls Bridge
The Falls Bridge is a steel Pratt truss bridge that spans the Schuylkill River in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It connects Kelly (formerly East River) Drive at Calumet Street with Martin Luther King, Jr. (formerly West River) Drive at Neill Drive. It replaced a wooden covered bridge at the same site.
The 556-foot-long (169 m) bridge, with stonemasonry abutments and two stonemasonry piers, with three Pratt-type pin-connected trusses, was built in 1894–1895 at a cost of $262,000 by Filbert Porter & Co. under the direction of Chief Engineer George Smedley Webster (1855–1931) of the Philadelphia Department of Public Works and James H. Windrim, director of the Department of Public Works. The bridge was designed as a double-decker bridge, but the upper deck was never built for lack of funds. The bridge carries two lanes of vehicular traffic on a 26-foot-wide (7.9 m) roadway, with 7-foot (2.1 m) sidewalks on either side, for a total width of 40 feet (12 m).
In 2007, blue LED lights were added to highlight the bridge at night.

![Oxford Canal: Bridge Number 48: Fall's Bridge. Fall's Bridge carries the B4112 road over the canal. The road name changes on the bridge, being Harborough Road to the left and south, and Rugby Road to the right and north. The bridge is at the start and north-western end of the newer, straightened, 1820s reach of canal.

![Cast iron bridge near Newbold on Avon, Warwickshire. This bridge carries the (1834) Oxford Canal towpath across the entrance to a short arm which remains of the original (1790) canal route. Falls Bridge, No 48, is off to the left. Beware Natives. Neil was less than discreet! :-)) [[[556895]]]There is some odd bridge numbering here. A plate on this bridge shows No 45. Could the original No 45 be the one at Little Lawford Lane on the old arm? The next one west is No 44. Falls Bridge wouldn't have existed then, but has acquired the number 48, (and an apostrophe, which does not appear on 1937-1961 1:25000 mapping). So where were bridges 46 and 47? by Roger D Kidd – 02 September 2008](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/08/10/52/8105246_66d138f0_120x120.jpg)










![Towpath Bridge - Oxford Canal. This bridge is characteristic of this stretch of the Oxford canal - provided to allow the towpath to cross the old course of the canal where it was straightened in the 1820s. The snow had fallen the previous day. See [[5625641]] for the view in the opposite direction. by Stephen McKay – 11 December 2017](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/62/77/5627789_aa9c5a48_120x120.jpg)



![Newer and older routes, northern Oxford Canal. The towpath bridge crosses the original 1770s route, the brick Fall's Bridge [no 48] crosses the amended 1830s route. Speed was not important in the 1770s, but cost was, so the original route kept to the contour, wiggling round hills and valleys wherever possible. By the 1830s it was worth spending money on cuttings, embankments and aqueducts to significantly reduce journey times. by Christine Johnstone – 07 June 2025](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/08/11/19/8111978_6db1311b_120x120.jpg)
