Network Rail have advised that Keadby Canal Bridge remains out of use due to equipment failure.
Additional to the welding repairs, a roller girder plate has been identified during the week which has become badly deformed; this requires replacement before the bridge can be operated for canal traffic. The replacement plate is a bespoke fabrication which will be ready for installation next weekend. The current plan is as follows: Sat Night / Sun Morning 07/06/25 - 08/06/25: The first phase of welding repairs will be undertaken on the bridge. Sat Night / Sun Morning 14/06/25 - 15/06/25: The roller girder plate will be fitted to the bridge with the associated specialist welding required. Sat Night / Sun Morning 21/06/25 - 22/06/25: The final phase of welding will be undertaken & the bridge tested for correct operation. The current estimate for re-opening the bridge to canal traffic is 0900 Sunday 22nd June.

We have been informed by Network Rail that the bridge is still out of order. Network Rail will be making an attempt to fix the bridge during the evening of Saturday, 7th June. The bridge will therefore be be inoperable until at least Sunday (8th June) morning.
