Description
Third party contractors will be carrying out repairs and refurbishment to the Lower Basin Swing Bridge.
The canal will remain open but restricted due to the use of a floating pontoon. All boat traffic should slow down, approach the bridge with caution and be prepared to stop if requested. Short delays up to 15 minutes may be necessary for contractors to move the floating pontoon.
(Works will take place on Monday to Friday only with a 2 week shut-down over Christmas)
