Description
Navigation will be need to be closed at Bridge 49, Royal Oak Swing Bridge, on the Macclesfield Canal to allow the refurbished bridge to be re-installed. This is planned to take place from Sunday 13th April starting at 8:30am with navigation opening under restriction from Monday 14th April. Our specialist contractor will be working on site to recommission the bridge and we anticipate these works to take up until 4pm Thursday 17th April.
During the recommission period, navigation will only be open daily unrestricted from 5pm until 8am and a daily passage at noon will be available from Monday 14th April. We ask all boating customers wishing to pass through the bridge at noon to be ready and waiting. Outside of these times we will not be able to accommodate passages. No booking is required.
The towpath will remain open however please listen to any advice that may be given by the team on site.
We hoped to have had the installation carried with in our usual winter works window however due to the extensive repairs in the workshop this has taken longer than originally planned.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused to your boating plans.
