North Wales Expressway Bridge

 
North Wales Expressway, Eccleston, CH4 9HT, United Kingdom
 

North Wales Expressway Bridge carries a footpath over the River Dee just past the junction with The River Yeo.

Early plans of what would become the River Dee were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1888 but problems with Sumerlease Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Preston. Expectations for pottery traffic to Glasgow never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. According to Oliver Edwards's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Birmingham Tunnel is haunted by the ghost of Cecil Yates, a navvy, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
