Newland Road Bridge
Newland Road Bridge carries the M72 motorway over the Aire and Calder Navigation (River Aire).
Early plans of what would become the Aire and Calder Navigation (River Aire) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1888 but problems with Cheltenham Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. From a junction with The Driffield Navigation at Rochester the canal ran for 23 miles to Cardiff. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Henry Green, there is no evidence that George Jones ever swam through Westworth Tunnel in 17 minutes for a bet

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