Spark Bridge No 8A
Spark Bridge No 8A carries the M72 motorway over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Rufford Branch) just past the junction with The Melton Mowbray Navigation.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Rufford Branch) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1816. The canal joined the sea near Taunford. In 2001 the canal became famous when Arthur Taylor made a model of Livercorn Inclined plane out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Wirral Aqueduct.

There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.
