Bridge 17, Deepdale Bridge, Barrow upon Trent, Trent & Mersey Canal

We are pleased to confirm the repairs at Bridge 17 will be completed tomorrow, Friday, in spite of the very difficult site conditions during the past weeks.  However, unfortunately, it has not been possible to arrange for the pumps and fabric dams to be removed until early next week. 

We hope to re-open the navigation by 4pm on Tuesday, 23rd February.

Unfortunately, due to the amount of flooding in the area, our work to repair voids under the towpath at Bridge 17 has been severely disrupted. 

We will need an additional two weeks to complete these repairs and we do not expect to re-open the navigation until 19th February 2021.

Carry out repairs to address voids under the towpath.
