Additional areas of canal bed repair works have had to be undertaken at Ivy House Embankment. Unfortunately, this will delay the planned reopening. These works will now be completed in time to allow the canal to be reopened at 18:00 on the 31st March.

The canal has been dewatered between Ivy House Road Lift Bridge and Bucknall Road bridge for investigation purposes. An inspection carried out on the 22nd February indicated that works were required to be undertaken in the bed of the canal before it can be refilled and fully reopened to boat traffic. Works will commence immediately, so closures of the canal and towpath will remain in place for the safety of the public and we intend to reopen the canal and towpath on the 29th March 2021 at 6pm.
