The A444 Jimmy Hill Way crossing Spring Road Canal Bridge (designated bridge 6A). The bridge was constructed in 1996 when the A444 was built along the line of the former Coventry Loop Line railway which was built in 1914 but closed as a through route in 1963 and completely in 1981. Originally named Phoenix Way it was renamed Jimmy Hill Way in 2016, in honour of the former Coventry City FC manager who had died in December 2015. Spring Road itself is a nearby road (now a cul-de-sac) running parallel to the canal - it is unclear why the name has been applied to this build.
