Contractors working on behalf of Warwickshire County Council will be carrying out improvement works at Bridge 54B.
The works will include replacing rivets with bolts, vegetation clearance and repointing of the brickwork. Much of the work will be undertaken from a pontoon and scaffold positioned within the canal.
The navigation will remain open throughout the works, although boaters may experience a short delay while contractors move the pontoon to allow safe passage.
A small towpath diversion will also be in place around the bridge, via the road.
Please proceed with care on approach, observe all signage and follow any instructions given by the contractors on site.
We kindly ask customers to allow a little extra time for their journey while these works are taking place.
