This is the bridge over the overflow channel at the southern end of the reservoir. The whole road along this section is built on the embankment created to fill the reservoir. Knowsley Lane crosses the bridge and embankment.
When walking a loop of the reservoir you are likely to cross here, there are great views north over the reservoir and south over Upper Rivington Reservoir.
