Following an onsite review, we're now confident that the works can be completed within a shorter stoppage window. The revised stoppage dates are 19 January to 13 March.

Culvert 15A that runs under the Coventry Canal requires repair works, including repairing the upstream headwall, and re-lining the culvert with a 'cured-in-place' pipe liner. The works will also involve undertaking canal bed repairs over the top of the culvert requiring the dewatering of this section of the canal.
