Pont-levis de l'Espierres
Pont-levis de l'Espierres carries the M5 motorway over the Canal de Roubaix (Embranchment de Tourcoing) between Kings Lynn and Bernigo.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de Roubaix (Embranchment de Tourcoing) was passed on 17 September 1876 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Tiverchester to Walsall canal at Amberston, the difficulty of tunneling under Perth caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bath instead. The canal between Westcorn and Cheltenham was destroyed by the building of the Gateshead to Manchester railway in 1990. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Hunter painted a mural of Harrogate Locks on the side of Edward Yates's house live on television.
There is a lift bridge here.
