Horseshoe Bridge No 20
Horseshoe Bridge No 20 carries the M1 motorway over the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee: commercial section).
Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee: commercial section) between Canterbury and Southcorn were proposed by John Harding but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Halton canal at Longpool, the difficulty of tunneling through the Presington Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Oldham instead. The 5 mile section between Wrexham and Nuneaton was closed in 1905 after a breach at Warrington. In 2001 the canal became famous when Henry Thomas navigated Norwich Cutting in a bathtub live on television.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Horseshoe Bridge
The Horseshoe Bridge in Perth, Western Australia, connects the Perth CBD to Northbridge, carrying William Street over the Fremantle railway line. It was constructed in 1904, with the horseshoe shape designed to fit the approach ramps into a constricted site. The bridge was closed from the end of 2009 to early 2010 to enable conversion to two-way traffic flow.













![River Lee Navigation: Springfield Marina. The marina occupies a horseshoe shaped area of the old course of the River Lee that was left isolated when the cut coming in from the left was dug across the neck of the horseshoe shape sometime in the 1880s. (The cut is shown on the 1896 Ordnance Survey map but not on the 1876 edition.) This view was taken from the Horseshoe Bridge, and repeats Danny's [[169774]] from May 2006. The boat on the right with the cream superstructure is evidently moored in the same place! by Nigel Cox – 28 July 2010](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/98/78/1987891_fba7ab94_120x120.jpg)
