New tunnel/bridge created when the canal was reopened in the early 2000s. Edinburgh Way was built partly over the line of the canal so it was necessary to divert it along a new line for the next quarter of a mile. The original canal line was to the left. See http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/rochdale/rc55.htm photos of construction work.
