Description

Original 27 October 2026, 12:14pm

Please be advised that navigation is currently closed north of Canada Bridge, Wilmcote, due to a fallen tree blocking the canal.

Contractors have been requested to attend and remove the obstruction. However, they are currently responding to multiple incidents following Storm Austen and Storm Boelo, which brought adverse weather conditions over the weekend. As a result, response times and the progress of clearance works may be affected.

We will provide a further update once more information becomes available.
