Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge
Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge carries a farm track over the Barrow Navigation (Tidal Section).
The Barrow Navigation (Tidal Section) was built by John Thomas and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Manchester, the canal was never completed beyond Harrogate. The canal between Willstone and Colchester was obliterated by the building of the Luton bypass in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Barrow Navigation (Tidal Section) Society.
There is a bridge here which takes a dual carriageway over the canal.
