Description

Original 6 August 2026, 1:54pm

Contractors working on behalf of High Speed 2 Limited will be building two new viaducts over the Birmingham and Warwick Junction Canal. To undertake these works safely it will be necessary to close the canal and the canal towpath. We are currently exploring whether opportunities may exist to provide temporary navigation openings during the works; however, this remains under review and cannot be guaranteed at this stage. Further updates will be provided as arrangements are confirmed.
