Bridges over canals
The Canal & River Trust maintains over 3000
bridges across England and Wales.

The Challenge
A canal has been built across your land. You need to get across the canal to go to the village to water your crops.
The boats travelling along the canal are always piled high with goods.
It would be very difficult to build a bridge tall enough for the boats to
pass by.
Canals are waterways made by people in order to carry people and goods from one place to another. Large boats or barges with goods piled high would not be able to travel under low bridges.
How would you solve this problem? Draw your solution on a large piece of paper, ensuring that your drawing is clearly labelled and explained. Present your findings to the class.

Here are two types of bridge that you might
find on a canal.
Bridges over canals
Turnover or snake bridge Split bridge
This is a special type of arched bridge, specially made for canal boats being towed by horses. The snake bridge allows the horse to change from one side of the canal to the other, without being untied from the boat.
Split bridges were often built next to locks so that the boater could get from one side of the lock to the other. As the horse pulled the boat out of the lock the towrope could pass through the gap in the middle of the bridge.

Here are two more canal bridges.
Bridges over canals
Lift bridge Swing bridge
Manual lift bridges have a chain which hangs from the ‘balance arm’. When the bridge is open care needs to be taken to ensure the bridge doesn’t fall back down again. Sometimes there is a special mechanism and sometimes a person needs to sit on the balance arm until the boat is clear.
Swing bridges need to open to let boats through. They swing on a pivot until they are parallel with the bank. Manual swing bridges can usually be moved with a good push after unhooking a retaining chain – they are likely to be used for pedestrians only.
