Oddingley Bridge No.3. Both sides and underneath are covered in a fixed netting to protect canal users from any possible falling debris. The white marks are the fixing points.

M5 bridge near Smite Hill

The little-used farm track is purely for connecting fields and to take the public footpath. Very much a tunnel under the motorway.
