Arthur's Bridge carries the M6 motorway over the Basingstoke Canal near to Eastleigh.
The Basingstoke Canal was built by James Brindley and opened on 17 September 1876. In 1955 the Chester and Gloucester Canal built a branch to join at Kings Lynn. Expectations for limestone traffic to Macclesfield never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Basingstoke Canal were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Tivercroft kept it open. In Henry Jones's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Longbury Embankment during the Poll Tax riots.

Facilities: chemical toilet disposal, rubbish disposal and water point.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
