Description

Original 6 August 2026, 1:58pm

Contractors working on behalf of High Speed 2 Limited plan to demolish an existing accommodation bridge ( Bridge 128 ) and construct a replacement new bridge over the canal. 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.
