Our contractors have been delayed with completing the works here, and have confirmed that the lock will be back open tomorrow, 9th March.

Whilst the works are completed, the water level in the area may drop temporarily, which we will work to resolve as soon as possible.

Description

To enable lock seal repairs, the canal will be closed at lock 9 on the Rochdale canal from 16th February, planned to be complete by the end of 27th February.

We are carrying out these works to be timed with our other stoppages in the area to minimise customer impact.

We appreciate that this is being published at short notice and apologise for any additional inconvenience this may cause.
