Looking east from the twin bridge (number 4 and 4A) you can easily see what the problem is to the reopening of the Grantham Canal at this point. Bridge number 4A, on the right, carrying the Nottingham bound carriageway of Radford Road over the canal, is high enough to allow craft to pass underneath. A major obstacle to the reopening of the canal is Bridge 4 which can be seen on the left. This was constructed as a culvert during the dualling of Radcliffe Road with scant regard for future use of the waterway. This is the main reason why a feasibility study to look into alternative routes to the River Trent was carried out in 2009.
