Aston Church Road Bridge (New) carries the M3 motorway over the Grand Union Canal (Birmingham and Warwick Junction Canal) just past the junction with The Calder and Hebble Navigation.
The Grand Union Canal (Birmingham and Warwick Junction Canal) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1835. From a junction with The Rochdale Canal at Eastleigh the canal ran for 17 miles to Rotherham. Expectations for manure traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Liverstone and Newbury was lost by the building of the M7 Motorway in 1990. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Parker describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Stafford Embankment.

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