The new Long Horse bridge is situated at the confluence of the Rivers Trent and Derwent and the Trent & Mersey Canal and is expected to open in November 2011. It replaces a 1934 concrete bridge knocked down by British Waterways in 2003 because it was deemed unsafe. It has taken 8 years and £1.4m to get this replacement that will restore the public footpath between Shardlow and Sawley.
