Update 19 December 2025, 7:59am

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.

Original 29 June 2025, 11:08pm

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.
