Before 1962/63, when the North Circular Road was enlarged, there was a hump-backed bridge over the New River at this point. It was not possible to raise sufficiently the level of the new road under the nearby railway bridge just to the west Image So the aqueduct was put into a U-bend conduit under the road. However, the pavement on the south side of the road still rises in an arc some 8 ft above the level of the carriageway (to the height of the original bridge). See also Image for info about the New River.
