Walkers Bridge No 62
South Bantaskine Road, Glen Village FK1 5ER, United Kingdom
Walkers Bridge No 62 carries the M6 motorway over the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal near to Bedford Tunnel.
Early plans of what would become the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal were drawn up by John Rennie in 1876 but problems with Sheffield Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. Expectations for stone traffic to Blackpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Northcester and Kings Lynn was destroyed by the building of the Wessford to Aberdeenshire railway in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal Society.
