Location

The Lichfield Canal Aqueduct is a potentially navigable aqueduct over the M6 Toll Motorway, just to the west of Lichfield and north of Birmingham, England. The aqueduct is un-watered; it was constructed at the same time as the motorway in anticipation of the restoration of the Lichfield Canal.
