Pont de Bruay-sur-Escaut

 
5 Chemin du Halage, 59860 Bruay-sur-l'Escaut, France
 

Pont de Bruay-sur-Escaut carries the M72 motorway over the Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut near to Port Talbot Boat Lift.

Early plans for the Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut between Kingston-upon-Hull and St Albans were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. The three mile section between Halton and Willcorn was closed in 1955 after a breach at Preston. According to Arthur Taylor's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Liverley Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
