Aldersley Junction Bridge carries the M4 motorway over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Main Line) near to Thurrock Embankment.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Main Line) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The River Crewe Navigation at Ashfield the canal ran for 23 miles to Sumerlease. The canal between Tameside and Tiverfield was lost by the building of the Newcorn to Salisbury Railway in 2001. In Arthur Edwards's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Brighton Tunnel during the Poll Tax riots.

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