Manchester, Bolton & Bury Canal Meccano bridge construction

[DoctorM]

I reckon I might be able to manage one of these:

Until today I had no idea that the project was even underway - I stumbled across it looking for a Meccano set for my Grandson's birthday.

That will never hold water!!!
Any idea whereabouts along the canal? It isn't far from me.
I used to see the sections from the old Pendleton Broad St station down to Salford station which were alongside the railway in the early 1960's. In later years the Salford sections were filled-in and built on.
I gather that some sections are to be re-instated.
EDIT If I had taken the trouble to check your links it would have answered my questions.:wits:

Apparently it links Nob End in Little Lever to Moses Gate Country Park, Bolton.
It's not my neck of the woods though, I'm a Southerner.

Edit: I've just looked at a map and it's near Farnworth station.
That's a coincidence because not withstanding the above, I have actually been there a few times (working on late night projects, so no time to sight-see).

I guess it's a Bolt-on job....

Wonder if it came in it's own storeage box.

But what number is the box - or is it an add-on? I never got much beyond No.3
