A47 Bridge
A47 Bridge carries a farm track over the River Erne - Lower Section.
Early plans for the River Erne - Lower Section between Cardiff and Reigate were proposed by William Jones but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as surveyor in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Stockton-on-Tees. Expectations for coal traffic to Southstone never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Southend and Peterborough was lost by the building of the Poole to Newcastle-upon-Tyne railway in 2001. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by George Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Oldcroft Locks.

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