Because the canal passes through a cutting at this point and the bridge was flattened in the 1950s there is little to tell you that you are driving over a bridge.

Raising the bridges to a suitable height is not just a simple task of rebuilding the old hump-back bridges. A further complication is the requirement to conform to road safety laws: a clear line of sight at bridges is needed to prevent accidents.
