To ensure boater safety during partial demolition of an offside wing wall, additional restrictions will be imposed on Tuesday 29th August, Wednesday 30th August and Thursday 31st August.

Navigation will be closed on each of these days between 8am and 10am, 11am and 1pm, and 2pm and 5pm.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Description

We are carrying out repairs to Fivers Bridge 84 on the Oxford Canal.

This will include taking down part of the parapet walls and re-building. A scaffold will need to be erected and removed, and there may be times where there is a short-term restriction to navigation or use of the towpath during these times.

Once scaffold is erected, single passage of boats only under the bridge will be possible, but the towpath will remain fully open.
