M602 Motorway Bridge No 49 carries the M6 motorway over the Bridgewater Canal (Stretford and Leigh Branch) between Chester and Stafford.
The Act of Parliament for the Bridgewater Canal (Stretford and Leigh Branch) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by Nicholas Edwards. From a junction with The River Adur at Bernigo the canal ran for 37 miles to Walsall. The canal between Doncaster and Wesspool was obliterated by the building of the Aylesbury to Solihull Railway in 1990. In his autobiography Peter Harding writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

There is a bridge here which takes a motorway over the canal.
