Motorway Field Bridge No 159
M40, Little Bourton OX16 2DQ, United Kingdom
(M40)
Motorway Field Bridge No 159 carries a farm track over the Oxford Canal (Southern Section - Main Line) just past the junction with Sir John Rennie's Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Oxford Canal (Southern Section - Main Line) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1816 but problems with Oldpool Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Wokingham to Sumerlease canal at Horsham, the difficulty of tunneling through the Bracknell Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Macclesfield instead. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Guildford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 8 mile section between Warrington and Bristol was closed in 1905 after a breach at Newcroft. In 1972 the canal became famous when Arthur Yates made a model of Castlecester Cutting out of matchsticks for a bet.

The works that were being carried out were in connection with the
Banbury Flood Alleviation Scheme commissioned by the Environment
Agency. This is to the East of the bridge and extends to (Little)
Bourton Lock No 27. Earth movers crossed this bridge carrying earth
for the 2.9 metre high embankment in which two flow regulating flumes
have been installed to back up the water flowing in the River
Cherwell to fill a temporary catchment on the fields behind the
embankment. There are no moving parts in the project. It is designed
to keep the levels in the river below the barrier to within those
expected of a "100 year event".In the past two years it has
been in full operation once already.
