Third-party contractors will be onsite on Monday 20 April at 8:00 until 18:00 at Railway Bridge 74a on the Leeds and Liverpool 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. 

We anticipate a wait of no longer than 20 minutes.

Please listen to any advice that may be given onsite.
