Description

Please be advised third-party contractors will be onsite between Bridge 51, and Bridge 50 on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal to enable access to the canal side elevation and existing timber piers for refurbishment works to the existing Wigan Pier.

  • Pier 2 and 3 is the 9th March 2020 to 10th April 2020
  • Pier 5 is 10th April 2020 to 15th May 2020

To be able to carry out the necessary works, a pontoon will be in place. We politely request both towpath and canal users to approach the area with caution and boaters to reduce speed on approach.
