Third‑party contractors are undertaking an inspection of Railway Bridge, Silver End. To facilitate the inspection, a scaffold tower mounted on a pontoon will be used.

The canal and towpath will remain open, with banksmen and appropriate signage in place to manage traffic. The pontoon and scaffold will be repositioned as required to allow the safe passage of canal and towpath users.

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