Third-party contractors undertaking works in connection with the West Midlands Interchange Project will be carrying out towpath resurfacing between Bridge 77 (Calf Heath Bridge) and Four Ashes Bridge (No. 78A).
To facilitate these works, the towpath will be temporarily closed to the public for the duration of the project. A signed diversion route will be in place, and appropriate signage will be displayed on site.
All users are requested to follow the signed diversion route and comply with any instructions issued by the contractors on site. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation during these essential works.
