Brigg Road Bridge (South Kelsey)
Brigg Road Bridge (South Kelsey) carries the M50 motorway over the River Ancholme (Caistor Canal) near to Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Early plans of what would become the River Ancholme (Caistor Canal) were drawn up by Edward Hunter in 1835 but problems with Wolverhampton Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Tiverworth to Waveney canal at Willfield, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Halton at Aberdeenshire caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Sevenoaks instead. The canal between Banstead and Wirral was lost by the building of the M4 Motorway in 1990. Restoration of Nantwich Aqueduct was funded by a donation from Castlecroft parish council

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