Trub Lock Rochdale Canal
Looking north by the side of Trub Lock (No 53) towards the M62 bridge. No towpath was provided when the canal was restored to navigation so pedestrians and cyclists have to detour via Earl Street and Manchester Road.

Rochdale Canal Bridge#65b (Tunnel under the M62)
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 tunnel (to the north - see Image]) and towpath users need to make quite a long diversion!.
