New bridge between Brownsover and Hillmorton?

We set off from Brownsover at about coffee time this morning, soon coming across the vast building site on the eastern side of the canal extending down to Hillmorton. It appears that a new bridge is in the early stages of construction.

This appears to be a storm water run-off drain, unless it's for draining the land generally.

We called in at Dunchurch Pools Marina (newly constructed) to visit John and Gill on Faithful, where they kindly gave us lunch.

Then we carried on to Braunston, where we enjoyed a meal at the Boathouse pub with John and Gill (again) and James and Hazel of Gabriel.

Oh - and we are tied up by Indigo Dream (with Graham and Jill on board, moving the boat for Richard and Sue).
