Navigation is restricted to boats with an air draught no greater than 7ft 6ins / 2.3m at Town Swing Bridge on the Weaver Navigation due to an electrical fault which is currently preventing the bridge from being safely operated. Our teams are investigating further.

Navigation will be closed to vessels with air draught greater than 7ft 6ins / 2.3m during this time.

A further update will be provided on or before Thursday 12 February.
