Towpath between Bridge 91A and Bridge 1, Butcher's Bridge, Braunston

The tarmac works to Bridge 91A have been completed, however some delays have been incurred.  For this reason, the towpath between Bridge 91A and Butchers Bridge 1 will need to be closed from 8 am on Tuesday 21st October until 12 pm on Wednesday 22nd October.   Canal & River Trust apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Canal & River Trust are pleased to confirm that the painting to Bridge 91A, Braunston Marina Entrance bridge has been completed and the scaffolding has been removed.  The canal is now open to navigation under Bridge 91A.    The towpath between Bridge 91A and Bridge 1, Butcher's Bridge is also open.  This length of towpath was due to be closed up until Friday 10 October, however the towpath will now be closed between Monday 13 October and Friday 17 October to enable re-surfacing work to take place on the deck and the approach ramps to Bridge 91A.

The painting of Bridge 91A is going well, however there were delays regarding the scaffold installation and paint preparation.  For this reason, the marina entrance will not be re-opened to navigation under Bridge 91A until the evening of Monday 6 October when all scaffolding will be removed.    The towpath between Bridge 91A and Bridge 1 (Butcher's Bridge) will not be re-opened until Friday 10 October as improvements to the tarmac surface on Bridge 91A will be taking place upon completion of the painting.   Canal & River Trust apologise for any inconvenience this delay will cause.
