The Pike Bridge project is located near the western end of the Cotswold Canals. It carried the main road into the village of Eastington.

The bridge (or lack of it) forms the next major obstruction to overcome to enable the extension of the Cotswold Canals Trust restored length westwards. The Heritage Lottery Funded Phase 1 section runs from Stonehouse about 1 mile east of Pike Bridge to Brimscombe Port, a length of about 6 miles. Work on this £25m project is due to start at the start of 2006 and the whole length should be complete by the end of 2008. Access to the rest of the national waterway network depends on the restoration of the 3 mile section between Eastington and the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal at Saul - Pike Bridge is a key project within this length.
