Navigation is currently restricted at Lock 61 on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal due to the deteriorated condition of the footbridge that provides access to the offside lock gate. As a result, boaters will only be able to use the nearside lock gate when passing through the lock.
Our teams have carried out an initial inspection and identified wood rot. We are now developing a repair plan and making arrangements to attend site to undertake the necessary repairs.
A further update will be provided on or before Friday, 11 September.
