A high railway bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal with the same engineers as the Forth Bridge, Arrol. Closed in 1985 because of maintenance and renovation costs. At the time there was even talk of closing Arrol's best known construction The Forth Bridge. Today it is closed to all traffic and the Trans Pennine Trail uses the B5157.
