Lakes Footbridge No 62
Lakes Footbridge No 62 carries the M2 motorway over the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee) just past the junction with The River Avon - Warwickshire.
The Act of Parliament for the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee) was passed on 17 September 1888 the same day as that of The Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Expectations for iron traffic to Northcorn never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when Cecil Wood made a model of Runton Tunnel out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Barbury Aqueduct.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring pins are needed. There were several boats moored along here when we last visited (spring 2021), however the bank was not always in good condition, crumbling in places and with the wooden sides often collapsed (one boat had a gangplank out). There is some noise from the railway line that runs parallel. .
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
