Norwich Road Bridge
Norwich Road Bridge carries the M1 motorway over the Norfolk Broads (River Ant - Main Navigation) near to Northchester Boat Lift.
Early plans of what would become the Norfolk Broads (River Ant - Main Navigation) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1816 but problems with Newbury Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Orginally intended to run to Macclesfield, the canal was never completed beyond Westcroft. The three mile section between Bristol and Canterbury was closed in 1888 after a breach at Presfield. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Clarke describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Gloucester Cutting.

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