Third-party contractors will be onsite at Railway Bridge No. 5A to carry out a detailed inspection.   To be able to inspect the bridge, a pontoon and scaffolding tower will be in place. Whilst navigation and towpath will remain open, we would ask all customers to approach the area with caution and be prepared to stop if necessary.   Please listen and take instruction from contractors on site.   We anticipate a wait of no longer than 20 minutes.
