Please be advised that the towpath between Dunstall Bridge and Sutton Road Bridge on the Coventry Canal will be closed from Monday 28 September to Friday 4 December to allow improvement works to take place.

The works involve the resurfacing of approximately 1.1km of existing towpath with new tar spray and chip surfacing, improvements to several access points, and vegetation management works along the route.

The closure is necessary to ensure the safety of contractors and towpath users while these works are carried out. Please follow any signed diversion routes and on-site instructions.
