Description

The canal and towpath between Locks 1 and 2 at Minworth are to be closed off to allow the safe demolition of Cincinatti Bridge.

This work was previously planned to coincide with the publicised canal closure for the inspection of waterway walls and the canal bed earlier this month. However, this could not be undertaken and now requires a separate closure.

The Canal & River Trust apologises for this additional canal closure and the disruption it may cause.
