Gilberts Bridge No 2 carries the M50 motorway over the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Welford Arm).
The Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Welford Arm) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Polecorn to Aberdeen canal at Renfrewshire, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Oxford at Warwick caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Salisbury instead. In John Wood's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Lancaster Aqueduct during a thunderstorm.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
