They now aim to be completed by the 2nd August. This is to allow to for a structural survey of the gas pipe bridge while the scaffolding is in place, and depending what they find, this may create additional work.

Boaters may experience some delays of up to 30 minutes during the erection and dismantling of the scaffolding.

Please follow advice from the contractors on site, who will be assisting with safe passage.
