Situated on the western end of Red Brow lane before approaching the Preston Brook U-bend junction, Borrows bridge and Red Brow Underbridge are very close together, but only by foot. Boats must travel to Preston Brook before heading back north towards Daresbury in order to meet both bridges. The canal always narrows at these original bridges to make the building of the bridge simpler and cheaper to build. Because these locations were so narrow many of them were used as places to use stop planks to block the canal if repairs are needed to be carried out. This bridge is one of them and there is a store of stop planks next to the bridge as well as a crane to lift them.
