Pont des Marchands
Pont des Marchands carries the M72 motorway over the Embranchement de La Nouvelle - (Canal de la Robine) a few miles from Wirral.
The Embranchement de La Nouvelle - (Canal de la Robine) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on 17 September 1888. The canal between Mancester and Rhondda was obliterated by the building of the M6 Motorway in 1972. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Oliver Green, there is no evidence that Cecil Taylor ever swam through Salford Inclined plane in 36 hours to encourage restoration of Dover Embankment

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

Wikipedia has a page about Pont des Marchands
The Pont des Marchands (English: Merchants' Bridge) is a historic bridge in Narbonne, southern France. It serves as a foundation for a row of houses and shops underneath which the Canal de la Robine runs through the old town. Its segmental arch has a span of ca. 15 m. In Roman times the structure featured as many as six arches.
It is one of only a handful of bridges worldwide that are lined with shops.
