Bridge 129A at Carnforth is actually three separate structures over the Lancaster Canal. The most southerly dates from the 1960s when the M6, then a bypass of Lancaster, was constructed and is still in use taking traffic from the motorway onto the A601(M) to join the A6 a mile away. The centre bridge dates from the same time but quickly became redundant when the M6 was extended northwards and the bridge nearest the camera was installed to feed traffic from the A6 onto the Junction 35 roundabout. This view looks south along the canal on 22nd November 2020. The towpath from Carnforth to Lancaster provides a good walking surface throughout the year but north of Carnforth it is a different story.
