Third Party contractors will be onsite on Wednesday 11 March from 8am until 6pm to conduct a bridge inspection at Pipe Bridge near New Stanney Bridge 140A on the Shropshire Union Canal.

As a result navigation will be restricted as safety equipment and a boat will be required in the water to enable access of the bridge to conduct the inspection.

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.
