Between Bridge 50, Hampton Bank Bridge & Bridge 53, Lyneal Road Bridge

Our team remain on site carrying out emergency works to slow the flow of water into a neighbouring field. Please note that the towpath is also closed.

Investigations are still underway to establish the possible cause of the collapse, and and we will provide a further update as soon as we receive one.

Thank you for your patience while we work as quickly as possible to bring the situation under control.

The culvert has failed overnight so the closure has been extended to Bridge 53, Lyneal Road Bridge, where we could get stop planks in. Our teams are on site and are carrying out investigations.

We will provide further updates as soon as further information is available.

Please be aware that navigation of the Llangollen Canal between Bridge 50, Hampton Bank Bridge & Hampton Bank Winding Hole is currently closed.

There is an issue at Culvert 51 and the local team are investigating.

Further information will be given as soon as available.
