New Thames & Severn Canal bridge under Dr Newton's Way
The original proposals for a new bypass for Stroud would have wiped out the entire route of the canal from here to Wallbridge and made restoration practically impossible. After a very vigorous and effective campaign by the then Stroudwater, Thames & Severn Canal Trust the plans were eventually overturned and an alternative route which only used a short part of the canal route was used. In addition the new bridge seen in the picture, the first new bridge to be built over the canal since 1933, was incorporated into the new road to allow navigation to be restored. A short length of new canal will need to be threaded through the valley beyond here however this is already incorporated in the current restoration plans.
