Deepcut Bridge carries the M2 motorway over the Basingstoke Canal just past the junction with The Wigan and Tameside Canal.
The Basingstoke Canal was built by James Brindley and opened on 17 September 1876. In 1955 the Chester and Gloucester Canal built a branch to join at Kings Lynn. Expectations for limestone traffic to Macclesfield never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Basingstoke Canal were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Tivercroft kept it open. In Henry Jones's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Longbury Embankment during the Poll Tax riots.

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

![The Basingstoke Canal at Deepcut. The view from Deepcut Bridge (photo [[22171]]) looking east along the canal. Normally the water is very clear along this stretch and because of that attracts kingfishers. The name Deepcut reflected the scale of the engineering feat needed to take the canal through the ridge - the cutting required was half a mile long and up to 70 feet deep - and it was subsequently taken to describe the surrounding area. by Ron Strutt – 29 September 2005](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/photos/05/94/059421_f5f2c1c7_120x120.jpg)
