Original 1 April 2026, 3:47pm

Third Party contractors will be onsite on Monday 18 May from 8am until Tuesday 19 May at 6pm to conduct a bridge inspection at Railway Bridge 53B on the Leeds and Liverpool 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 an 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.
