Bridge 65a Rochdale Canal near Trub
This bridge is where the footpath is interrupted. It was built when the canal was restored to navigation and since then pedestrians and cyclists have to detour via Manchester Road and Earl Street.

Rochdale Canal at Trub
Looking from just north of the Motorway, towards the new bridge (number 65a) built to provide access to land on the west side of the canal. The towpath crosses the bridge to change sides via this bridge. Originally a swing bridge crossed the canal roughly where the motorway now is.
The canal widens on the left forming a "layby" to where the floating towpath pontoon is moved to allow full width boats to pass through the tunnel Image], it is not a mooring for boats!

Rochdale Canal, Tunnel Under M62 (Bridge#65b)
When the M62 was constructed, the canal was diverted along a new channel, few yards to the east, and this former culvert was made into a tunnel. The towpath now runs on a floating pontoon in the tunnel under the M62 motorway.
The tunnel is just wide enough to allow a narrow boat to pass through with the pontoon in place (http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/rochdale/rc8b.htm photo). If a wide beam boat arranges to pass through, the pontoon is moved to the layby (behind the camera, north of the tunnel - see Image]) and towpath users need to make quite a long diversion!.

Motorway Culvert Bridge [No 65B], Rochdale Canal
A diversion for the restored canal. The floating towpath was designed to move out of the way [with 24 hours notice] if a boat wider than a narrowboat wants to pass through.

M62 crossing the Rochdale Canal
Here we are looking south from just south of Castleton. A towpath wasn't provided as part of the regeneration works so pedestrians and cyclists have to make a detour via Manchester Road and Earl Street.
