Third-party contractors are undertaking a Principal Bridge Inspection where access works require erecting a floating pontoon with a tower scaffolding to reach the underside of the structure.

Canal users are asked to listen to and take instruction from contractors on site until the pontoon/restriction is moved out of the way.
