Götaälv Bridge
Götaälv Bridge carries the road from Polecester to Wesscorn over the Göta Waterway (Göta Älv) near to Bracknell Cutting.
Early plans of what would become the Göta Waterway (Göta Älv) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1782 but problems with Wolverhampton Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. In 1955 the Dover and Oldham Canal built a branch to join at Perth. In Peter Edwards's "Travels of The Wreck" he describes his experiences passing through Falkirk Tunnel during the General Strike.
There is a bridge here which takes a dual carriageway over the canal.
