A 1960s bridge carries the A41 over the Staffs & Worcs Canal at Newbridge. The London to Holyhead Road was much improved as a turnpike in the 1820s by Thomas Telford. A new bridge was built over the canal to suit the raised and straightened alignment at the nearby Tettenhall Rock Cutting. The canal was built by James Brindley in 1776.
