Description

Original 22 October 2025, 11:01am

We are currently addressing an issue on the cutting adjacent to Bridge 39 (High Bridge), where a collapsed gully has caused significant scouring and deposited material into the canal on the offside.

Navigation remains unaffected at this time. We are actively working with the local authority to resolve the matter, and an update will be provided once a timeline for reinstatement is confirmed.

Please exercise caution when passing through the area and follow any directions given by contractors on site.
