Description

Original 16 April 2026, 2:18pm

Third‑party contractors are undertaking an inspection of Albion Railway Bridge.

To facilitate the inspection, a scaffold tower mounted on a pontoon will be used. The canal and towpath will remain open throughout the works. Banksmen and clear signage will be in place to manage both canal and towpath users safely.

The pontoon and scaffold will be repositioned as required to allow the safe passage of boats and towpath users.

Please follow all on‑site signage and any instructions given by the third‑party contractors while passing through the area.
