Bridge 98A, Waterwitch Footbridge on the Lancaster Canal, is closed to all users due to a partial collapse of the walkway.
Our teams have carried out an initial inspection and identified wood rot. A further site visit is required to assess the damage in more detail and develop a suitable repair plan.
Whilst the canal will remain open to navigation, we ask all customers to approach the area with caution and listen to any advice given on site.
An update will be provided on or before Thursday, 25 June.
