Description

Original 16 July 2026, 1:23pm

A fallen tree is restricting the navigation between Muscott Mill Bridge 18 and Smiths Bridge 16 on the Grand Union Canal.  

Narrowboats may pass slowly and with care, widebeams will not manage to pass. 

We are working to clear the tree as soon as possible and will update this notice as soon as we have more information.
