In preparation our contractor is mobilising a team and crane ready to install the brackets.
We will update this notice on the 4th April with further details.

Contractors were on site yesterday and a crane was used to place strops between the deck and high level beams. The bridge has been safely lowered and the deck is now lying flat across the canal on the abutments.
A fabrication supplier is visiting today to determine the repair solution and we will issue an update to the notice when we have further information from the Contractor.
Description
Part of the main bridge structure has failed.
The bridge is currently out of action and the navigation is closed.
