Please be advised that contractors Walters Group and Ekspan will be working on behalf of Somerset Council to replace the broken pedestrian Swingbridge with new.

The navigation and towpath will remain open but please approach with caution and follow any instructions from the contractor and observe signs in place.

There may be brief delays to allow contractors to move aside for boating customers and pedestrians. These will be kept to a minimum to avoid disruption to journeys.

You are welcome to contact us at [email protected] or 03030 404040 if you would like to discuss this information with a member of our Customer Service Team.
