Towpath access will be restricted while contractors for Network Rail will be installing cabling on the bridges on the North side of the canal on the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation from Bridge 69 to Bridge 70. Part of the towpath will be fenced off for public safety. The fencing will be erected to allow access along the towpath and should not affect boaters. Please listen to any instructions given by contractors for Network Rail, as they may need to move equipment while they are undertaking their works.
