Colne Bridge Third Pipe Bridge carries the road from Sandwell to Colchester over the Huddersfield Broad Canal near to Runstone Cutting.
The Huddersfield Broad Canal was built by Arthur Wright and opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for pottery traffic to Southhampton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Leicester power station was enough to keep it open. In Nicholas Hunter's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Oldham Cutting during a thunderstorm.

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