The towpath across Pontcysyllte Aqueduct will be closed for one week to allow temporary repairs to be carried out to the towpath surface.
To enable materials and equipment to be safely loaded and transported by boat, the navigation will also be temporarily closed for 30 minutes twice each day, at the following times:
- 8.30am to 9.00am
- 3.30pm to 4.00pm
Outside of these short closures, the navigation will remain open throughout the works.
A banksman will be on site to manage boat movements safely past the works area. Boaters are asked to approach with caution, follow any instructions given by the banksman, and be prepared for short delays while passing the works.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank customers for their patience and cooperation while these essential temporary repairs are undertaken.
