Cadman Street Bridge to Bacon Lane Bridge - towpath closure

The towpath closure has been extended from Bernard Road Bridge to Cadman Street Bridge, this is due to further deterioration of the towpath in the next section.

Please use alternate walking/cycle routes.

An update for this notice will be provided by the 30th of January 2026.

We are working to improve the fencing and signage around the towpath closure due to ongoing vandalism.

A temporary repair to make the area safe is currently being planned into the 2026 work plan. A specific timeframe will be communicated when the repair has been programmed.

An update for this notice will be provided by Friday 30th January.

Engineers have assessed the collapsed area of the towpath between Sheffield Bernard Road, Bridge 5 and Bacon Lane Bridge and are beginning to formulate plans for repair. The area of collapse has been caused by a washout which has undercut the towpath. Heras fencing has been installed at towpath closure points. An update will be provided in 2 weeks time. Please contact customer services if any vandalism to closure points is observed.

This section of towpath is currently closed due to a partial collapse of an area of banking/towpath. Engineers will be on site to assess the area on 5th November and a plan to repair will follow. The notice will be updated when we have further information on the work that is needed to be undertaken.
