Cooper Bridge No 1
Cooper Bridge No 1 carries the M3 motorway over the Huddersfield Broad Canal half a mile from Swansea.
The Huddersfield Broad Canal was built by Arthur Wright and opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for pottery traffic to Southhampton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Leicester power station was enough to keep it open. In Nicholas Hunter's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Oldham Cutting during a thunderstorm.

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