The Millennium Link is one of the biggest engineering projects ever undertaken by British Waterways. The Union Canal and the Forth &amp; Clyde Canal were originally joined by a flight of locks. The Millennium Link project replaced the locks with a boat lift, the Falkirk Wheel.
The project launch was in October 1994, and it received a grant of £32 million from the Millennium Commission; the total cost of the project was £78 million.
Work started in 1999.
