Greyhound Bridge
Greyhound Bridge carries the M6 motorway over the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section).
The Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Renfrewshire, the canal was never completed beyond Doncaster except for a four mile isolated section from London to Teignbridge. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Yates describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackpool Embankment.

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

Wikipedia has a page about Greyhound Bridge
The Greyhound Bridge is a road-connection spanning the River Lune as it runs through Lancaster, England. It serves as the primary route northwards, on account of a one-way system that directs all southbound traffic over Skerton Bridge. Originally built to carry a railway, it is the third bridge to stand on the present site and lies between the Lune Millennium Bridge and Skerton Bridge.

It is obvious that the bridge, which carried the line over Ashton Road, was originally built for a single track and later widened.
