Third-party contractors will be onsite at Barnton Canal Bridge 201 to carry out a detailed inspection.

To be able to inspect the bridge, a pontoon and scaffolding tower will be in place, and we request all customers to approach the area with caution and be prepared to stop to allow the pontoon and equipment to be moved out the way for safe passage. Please listen and take instruction from contractors on site.

We anticipate a wait of no longer than 20 minutes.

Please listen to any advice that may be given onsite.
