Pictures of M5 Cattle Crossing

This 3m wide and 2m high crossing has been viewed as a possible means of reconstructing a new navigation along the 1779 route. It is 2m narrower than the rest of the canal which can accommodate 5m wide boats and the base would have to be dropped by about 2m - even then, there would be no provision for towpath users to cross the M5.
