Alva Bascule Bridge
Alva Bascule Bridge carries a footpath over the Lake Okeechobee Waterway (Caloosahatchee River) between Runford and Northampton.
Early plans for the Lake Okeechobee Waterway (Caloosahatchee River) between Chelmsford and Bassetlaw were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Expectations for manure traffic to Charnwood never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Exeter kept it open. In Peter Thomas's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Boggin Cutting during the war.
There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.
