We apologise for the delay in this work. This was due to wet weather preventing resurfacing. We have completed the eastern part of the work from Alperton (Manor Farm Road) to Horsenden Lane and this section is now open.

We will be completing the surface dressing from Horsenden Lane to Greenford Railway Bridge by Friday 18th September as long as the current dry weather continues.

The towpath and access points will need to be closed in stages with diversions in place. The canal will remain open to navigation and mooring during these works.

The towpath will be closed in stages over a two week period with diversions in place.
