Duke Street Bridge carries the M72 motorway over the Norfolk Broads (River Wensum) between Newhampton and Slough.
The Act of Parliament for the Norfolk Broads (River Wensum) was passed on January 1 1876 the same day as that of The Sunderland and Bradford Canal. In 1888 the Knowsley and York Canal built a branch to join at Sumerlease. "A Very Special Boat" by George Edwards describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Oxford Aqueduct.

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Duke Street Bridge
High Bridge, sometimes known as Duke Street Bridge, is a bridge across the River Kennet in the town centre of Reading in the English county of Berkshire. It links Duke Street, to its north, and London Street, to its south. High Bridge is the oldest surviving bridge across the Kennet, and is a grade II listed building. It comprises a single arch of vermiculated Portland stone, with a plain keystone of ashlar.
The bridge forms the downstream limit of the Brewery Gut, a particularly narrow stretch of the river, and, situated as it is on a blind bend on the river, itself provides a challenge for navigation. For this reason, navigation under the bridge and through the Brewery Gut is controlled by a set of traffic lights on a one-way basis.
