BBV, a contractor working on behalf of High Speed 2 Limited, is undertaking works to construct a new railway viaduct over the canal. To carry out these works, the contractor has installed temporary sheet piling within the navigation, which reduces the width of the canal.

Short-duration towpath closures may be required by the contractor. Please pass through the area with care.
