The water levels in this section from Bridge 3 to Sowerby Bridge have been restored and no longer pose a safety concern for towpath users.
This section of towpath has been reopened. We are still carrying out grouting works between Bridge 3 and Bridge 4, keeping the towpath closed in this section until further notice.

Repairs to the leak are still ongoing and are hoping they will be completed by next Friday 7th October.
We will update the notice should there be any changes to the date.
Description
The stretch of water in the pound between Tuel Lane Lock and Bridge 4 is currently empty and we are working to investigate this with the assistance of the contractor team working on the leak repair near Bridge 3.
Due to safety concerns, we are closing the towpath until we can restore the levels.
Please do not attempt to find an access route onto this closed stretch of towpath as we will also be attempting to close these off too.
We will update on the situation accordingly.
