Dale Street Bridge carries the road from Eastleigh to Tauncester over the Rochdale Canal (Main Line) near to Sandwell Inclined plane.
Early plans of what would become the Rochdale Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by George Wright in 1888 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Leeds. Expectations for coal traffic to Oldpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Taylor's "By Lump Hammer and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Amberscester Locks during the war.

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

![Rochdale Canal Beneath Piccadilly. Travelling west, after leaving Dale Street Lock, the Rochdale Canal follows a rather dark and dank tunnel below the modern buildings of Piccadilly. To improve it when the canal was reopened in 2002, the cavernous recesses to the side were walled off and a new walkway was installed which avoided the need to walk around the edge of the underground area. These changes and the installation of lights and CCTV cameras have made walking this section much more pleasant than it had been previously. The mural, which is sited along the side of the tunnel, also helps to brighten up the area. Designed by canal boat painter Philip Speight, the mural celebrates the cultural heritage of Manchester, from the industrial revolution through to the Commonwealth Games. Its centrepieces are renditions of the Commonwealth Games 2002 logo and the canal boat 'Manchester Rose 2002', emphasising the importance that year played in rejuvenating the city's 20 mile waterway system (http://web.archive.org/web/20111007220234/http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/rochdale/rc15.htm ).
