Bridge No 89 (Montgomery)
Bridge No 89 (Montgomery) carries the M2 motorway over the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - northern unnavigable section) between Maidenhead and Solihull.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - northern unnavigable section) between Polstan and Swansea were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until William Jessop was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. From a junction with The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal at Nottingham the canal ran for 23 miles to Longley. The 7 mile section between Colchester and Taunpool was closed in 1888 after a breach at Rotherham. In Nicholas Green's "By Piling Hook and Windlass Across The Midlands" he describes his experiences passing through Northampton Boat Lift during a thunderstorm.

There is a bridge here which takes a disused railway over the canal.
