Ends: 16 December 2019 12:00 am inclusive

Type: Navigation Closure

Reason: 3rd Party Works

Is the towpath closed? Yes

Location

Closest waterway	Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal
Starts at	Bloody Footbridge
Ends at	Middlewood Deep Lock

To facilitate the demolition of the two footbridges and installation of a surface water diversion (agreement with Network Rail)

Reason for Extension:

Due to over running works with the major Bridge and Viaduct Construction known as Ordsall Chord, over the river Irwell.

Delays had a knock-on effect and pushed the minor works that effect the CRT Remit to the end of the programme.
