Due to the adverse weather on Wednesday 12th February 2014, there are a large number of trees blown down across the Llangollen canal which has closed navigation in a number of places. We are working to clear the trees as quickly as possible, but to allow boaters currently trapped by the fallen trees to navigate through the Hampton Bank site, the navigation will not now be closed until Wednesday 19th February 2014.
Description
Due to a leakage on the embankment at Hampton Bank there is a risk of a possible breach and therefore emergency works are required. Contractors will commence works on site on Monday 17th February to install piling on this section of canal.
The canal and towpath between Hampton Bank Bridge 50 and Knowles Bridge 49 will be closed from Monday 17th February until Friday 4th April 2014.
