New Semington Aqueduct, Canal aqueduct in Semington, United Kingdom.
The New Semington Aqueduct spans across the A350 road with two separate navigable channels measuring 5.4 meters wide and 2 meters deep each.
The structure opened in 2004 as part of a road improvement project to create a bypass for Semington and Berryfield villages while maintaining canal navigation.
The aqueduct maintains the legacy of British waterway engineering by connecting sections of the Kennet and Avon Canal, supporting water transport traditions.
The road beneath the aqueduct runs through a cutting to provide 5.5 meters of clearance for vehicles, while boats navigate through two parallel channels above.
The construction required 529 tonnes of steel reinforcement and incorporated a temporary canal diversion to maintain water traffic during the building process.
