Description

Original 1 May 2026, 1:41pm

National Grid will be installing a temporary bridge over the canal to enable vehicular access for urgent pylon repair works. The bridge will need to be slowly jacked across the canal & towpath into position.

Delays of up to 30 minutes could be possible to allow the contractors to halt the operation for safe passage.

Please follow advice given by onsite staff.
