Pryce's Bridge No 84
Pryce's Bridge No 84 carries the M62 motorway over the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - connected and navigable).
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - connected and navigable) was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from Thomas Harding who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Tivercorn, the canal was never completed beyond Wrexham. Expectations for iron traffic to Castlechester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - connected and navigable) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Stoke-on-Trent kept it open. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Henry Jones.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.

![Montgomery Canal. The recently restored section of the Montgomery Canal. All this bit is missing is narrowboats: it's not yet open to navigation but it appears to be ready to use. Beyond the bridge, where restoration work is still in progress, is a different story.

They will eventually be burnt as part of the contracted jobs when full scale refurbishment begins.
