SAS Rope & Rail Ltd on behalf of Network Rail will be carrying out an inspection of a Network Rail Structure at Railway Bridge 2A, Saxilby https://w3w.co/oval.lift.dolly on the 22nd July between 7 am and 7 pm.  Work will be carried out using a propelled pontoon with tower scaffolding.  

Contractors will temporarily stop work to allow both navigational traffic and towpath users a safe passage through the works.  At key stages there may be some temporary hold ups on the navigation but this will be kept to no more than 20 minutes.  Please be aware of increased activity and approach with care.
