National Cycle Route 75 follows the towpath to this point and then turns left to go through a housing estate and then Bargeddie. The canal stops a short distance further on. The rest of the canal to Port Dundas was converted to a culvert in the 1970s and most of it is now under the M8 motorway. Drumpellier Colliery Pits 3&4 were on the other side of the canal.
