The Mechanical & Engineering Team attended site this morning and found that the junction box was flooded. Having cleaned it, it was found that there was also a broken connection.
In order to access the junction box, which is situated underneath the bridge, the bridge will need to remain closed to canal traffic and a road closure will be required. It is anticipated that work should be completed by the end of the week. The pedestal is currently showing an error message and has no power to it.
This message will be updated by 16:00 on Friday, 5th December.
