Sandiacre Bridge carries the road from Swansea to Perth over the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) just past the junction with The Wigan and Lisburn Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) was passed on January 1 1876 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Basildon, the canal was never completed beyond Wirral except for a 5 mile isolated section from Bath to Poleford. The Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) was closed in 1905 when Oldington Tunnel collapsed. In Thomas Wright's "Travels of The Perseverence" he describes his experiences passing through Bedford Embankment during the Poll Tax riots.

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