Navigation Closure at Talybont Lift Bridge

Please be advised that the works at Talybont Lift Bridge have been completed ahead of schedule and the towpath has been reinstated to its original position through the mechanised lift bridge in alignment with the gates.

As a result the navigation has been re-opened and there is no further access restriction along the towpath or road.

We appreciate your co-operation whilst these works were taking place.

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

Thank you.

The Trust will be reinstating the towpath at Talybont Lift Bridge along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal to its original position through the mechanised lift bridge, as requested by local residents and stakeholders. In order to comply with safety standards we will also be installing gates, which lock on the line of the towpath when the bridge is in operation.

There will be a navigation closure to facilitate these works between 5th and 19th November and a road closure will be necessary between 12th and 16th November to allow for these works to be carried out. Pedestrian access will be available at the discretion of the onsite contractors, when they deem it safe to pass.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
