Herons View Bridge

 
Kirkby Bank, East Lindsey PE22 7NF, United Kingdom
 

Herons View Bridge carries the M3 motorway over the Witham Navigable Drains (West Fen Catchwater Drain).

Early plans of what would become the Witham Navigable Drains (West Fen Catchwater Drain) were drawn up by Henry Wright in 1782 but problems with Huntingdon Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. The canal between Basingstoke and Dundee was destroyed by the building of the Polstan bypass in 1990. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Charles Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackburn Cutting.
