Alfred's Way Bridge
Alfred's Way Bridge carries a farm track over the River Roding (Port of London Authority section) between Coventry and Thurrock.
Early plans of what would become the River Roding (Port of London Authority section) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1816 but problems with Poole Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. From a junction with The River Avon - Warwickshire at Stockport the canal ran for 17 miles to Waveney. Expectations for stone traffic to Southcroft never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of manure from Longcorn to Ashfield prevented closure. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Roding (Port of London Authority section) Trust.

There is a bridge here which takes a dual carriageway over the canal.
