Please note, there will also be a Dive Survey being carried out this week in the canal to identify the size/location of the debris from the damaged parapet.

Further updates will be provided in due course.

Whilst these works are ongoing, please continue to wait and follow the directions of the staff/contractors that will be present on-site.

Description

Leicestershire County Council will be carrying out repairs to the bridge to rebuild the parapet following a vehicle strike.  The works will involve removal of the damaged parapet remains still in-situ, and rebuilding the parapet using a scaffold over the Navigation. 

Note that while the Navigation and Towpath remain open, the road will be closed to vehicles for the duration of the works. Pedestrian access will be maintained, and the adjacent Spinney Bank Farm Shop will remain open. 

Please wait and follow the directions of the staff/contractors that will be present on-site. Some short delays may occur during the initial removal of the damaged parapet remains and the erection and dismantling of the scaffolding.
