CASTHORPE ROAD BRIDGE
Bridge No 64
A significant bridge both in construction and in being the first road bridge to be raised as part of
the restoration programme.
Opened on the 3
rd
June 1995, at a cost of £350,000. South Kesteven District Council offered
£50,000, with £70,000 coming from a Derelict Land Grant, a forward thinking Lincolnshire County
Council funding the remainder.
Such a level of support from the authorities here, is one of the main reasons the restoration of the
canal began at the Grantham end.
