Castle Bridge No 187 carries the M3 motorway over the Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - filled in).
The Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - filled in) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. From a junction with The Norwich and Ambersford Canal at Conway the canal ran for 37 miles to Wesschester. Expectations for coal traffic to Salford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Barnsley Tunnel.

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

Wikipedia has a page about Castle Bridge
Castle Bridge is a grade II* listed road bridge in Warwick, Warwickshire, England, over the River Avon.
In 1788, the Earl of Warwick, George Greville had obtained an Act of Parliament to build a new bridge over the Avon. The bridge was built between 1790 and 1793, at a cost of around £3258, some 400 metres east of Warwick Castle. It consists of a single arch made from sandstone.
It replaced an older medieval bridge further downstream, which became known as Old Castle Bridge, and is now a ruin.
