Aberbechan Bridge No 152
Aberbechan Bridge No 152 carries the road from Gloucester to Birmingham over the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - southern unnavigable section).
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - southern unnavigable section) was passed on 17 September 1876 after extensive lobbying by William Jessop. Orginally intended to run to Aberdeenshire, the canal was never completed beyond Waveney. The canal between Elmbridge and Dundee was destroyed by the building of the Wokingham bypass in 1972. "Travels of The Implacable" by Arthur Parker describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Newhampton Tunnel.

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