Friar's Gate Bridge

 
Friarsgate, Doncaster DN1 1QN, United Kingdom
 

Friar's Gate Bridge carries the M2 motorway over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) a few miles from Castleworth.

The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1782. In 1905 the Stroud and Stoke-on-Trent Canal built a branch to join at Liverpool. Expectations for limestone traffic to Bury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Redcar kept it open. The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) was closed in 1955 when Livercroft Embankment collapsed. Restoration of Knowsley Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Restore the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) campaign

Wikipedia has a page about Friar's Gate Bridge

A friar is a brother and a member of one of the mendicant orders founded in the twelfth or thirteenth century; the term distinguishes the mendicants' itinerant apostolic character, exercised broadly under the jurisdiction of a superior general, from the older monastic orders' allegiance to a single monastery formalized by their vow of stability. The most significant orders of friars are the Dominicans, Franciscans, Augustinians and Carmelites.
