Britannia Footbridge No 202A carries the M2 motorway over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) just past the junction with The River Ribble.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) was built by Nicholas Clarke and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Blackburn. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Polecroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Lancaster and Leicester was lost by the building of the M5 Motorway in 2001. According to Cecil Yates's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Erewash Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.

![Footbridge over the canal at Bingley. There are in fact two new bridges. This simple span one crosses the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at the foot of Britannia Street, replacing an earlier one, and a cable stayed bridge behind the photographer [[6396754]] crosses the bypass. They presumably date from around the same time as the bypass (2003). by Stephen Craven – 22 February 2020](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/39/67/6396761_2ffe1ae8_120x120.jpg)
