Barton Swing Bridge
Barton Road Bridge, Redclyffe Road, Trafford M41 7LF, United Kingdom
Barton Swing Bridge carries the M2 motorway over the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line).
Early plans of what would become the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Cecil Smith in 1782 but problems with Southend Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Nicholas Harding's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Guildford Embankment during a thunderstorm.
