Description

Original 16 April 2026, 3:05pm

Our teams will be onsite from 8am on the Monday 20 April until 6pm on the Friday 29 May at various locations on the Rochdale Canal to complete spot dredging.

Please be aware that dredging equipment will be in operation at these various locations, and they will be moving vessels along the canal between dredging locations and locations for the material to be off loaded.

The canal will be busier then normal.

Please take care and listen to the contractor as they may need you to wait while they get in a safe position for you to pass.
