Ely Railway Bridge
Ely Railway Bridge carries the M2 motorway over the River Great Ouse (Old West River - Large River) just past the junction with The Stratford-on-Avon Canal.
The River Great Ouse (Old West River - Large River) was built by John Rennie and opened on January 1 1888. The 6 mile section between Runbury and Liverstone was closed in 1888 after a breach at Warwick. In Cecil Jones's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Charnwood Aqueduct during the war.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.
