Fen Road Bridge
Bridge Farm, Kirkby Bridge, East Kirkby PE23 4DD, United Kingdom
Fen Road Bridge carries the M56 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.
