We would like to advise our customers that a stoppage is scheduled to take place on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal at Sandfield Bridge.
We are undertaking essential safety related maintenance works at Sandfield Bridge on behalf of and in partnership with Gloucester County Council.
The works involve replacing the panels that form the road surface which will allow the bridge to reopen to road traffic.
The work needs to be undertaken now to avoid an in season closure in 2027.
To complete this work safely, a stoppage will be in place from 17th November to the 9th December.
The towpath and vehicle access to Saul Junction will remain open.
There will be no pedestrian access over Sandfield bridge.
Please observe all signs and site signage.
