Description

Third party contractors will be carring out an inspection to the structure of the railway bridge and will be taking readings. In order to do this they will be in the canal and also on the towpath.

All boat traffic should slow down and approach the bridge with caution, and be prepared to stop if requested to do so.

Short delays of up to 15 minutes maybe necessary for contractors to move out the way.

Warning signs and banksman will on site.
