Gloucester and Sharpness Canal Towpath Closure

Please be advised that the towpath is now fully open between Rea Bridge and Midsummer Walk as the first phase of laying tarmacadam has been completed ahead of schedule.

Certain lengths will be closed during the spring of 2019 when the weather is favourable in order to install the buff-coloured surface dressing. We will advise of the dates of these closures nearer to the time.

For further information or advice, please contact the Gloucester Dock Office on 01452 318012 or at [email protected].

Thank you.

Please be advised that works between Sellars Bridge and Rea Bridge, and Rea Bridge and Sims Bridge has been completed ahead of schedule and the towpath in these areas is now open.

As a result the next stage of the works has been brought forward and over the coming week the towpath between Sims and Netheridge Bridges will be closed for a period of time, as well as between Netheridge and Hempsted.

All other closures remain consistent with the dates previously specified.

Gloucestershire City Council has received funding to greatly improve the towpath for a length of 3.5 kilometres. The benefits will see the majority of towpath widened with an improved surface, suitable for use in all weathers.

We hope these improvements will encourage people to use the towpaths on their daily commute as well as for a means of relaxing and will leave the busy roads behind!
