Third-party contractors will be onsite on Tuesday, 3 February at 7:00am till Wednesday, 4 February 5pm at Railway Bridge on the Rochdale Canal to carry out a detailed examination of the bridge.

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.
