To be able to carry out these emergency works and maintain a safe working environment for both our contractors and customers, the towpath will be closed between Lock 61 Scowcroft and Higher Boarshaw Bridge from Monday, 4 May.
Advanced warning signs have been put onsite.
Navigation will remain closed between Lock 61 and Lock 64.

Please remember our advice - only move your boat if it's essential (not for leisure purposes) and minimise your use of the towpath.
If you are not currently occupying your boat the government guidance is that you must not visit it (this means no short trips or breaks on your boat at this time).
Please follow the government advice – stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives.
