Description

Original 28 May 2026, 3:28pm

Third‑party contractors will be carrying out an inspection of the offside waterway wall along the Birmingham City Hospital site. To facilitate access, a pontoon will be installed within the canal. The canal will remain open throughout the works, and activities will not interfere with boat traffic. Banksmen will be present on the towpath to manage operations.

Please follow all on‑site signage and any instructions given by the contractors. Please, take extra care when passing through this area.
