The modern* Droveway Bridge is No 3A across the Shropshire Union Canal. Beyond it is Turnover Bridge (No 3), where the design is such that horses could cross the canal and continue without being unhitched from their boats. Turnover Bridge was also carried a track between the former Barnhurst Farm and Pendeford Farm (Now Lower Penderford Farm). The bridge was required in the early 1970s following the construction of a large housing estate on the former Wolverhampton Municipal Airport at Pendeford.
