JSM Group will be laying a new surface dressing over the full width of the canal towpath at locations where the towpath has been impacted by the installation of apparatus.

Works will run from Steele Rd, Harlesden to Greenford Rd, impacted towpath areas will be closed and a floating pontoon walkway will be installed within the canal to safely divert towpath customers around the works.

Towpath customers will be diverted onto a 125m floating pontoon walkway to safely navigate around the impacted towpath work areas.

Navigation will always remain unrestricted.

Moorings may be impacted/suspended in areas to safely facilitate towpath works.
