Description
We would like to advise you of this additional stoppage to the Winter Works Programme.
Due to the size of the lifting operation, we will be using a contract lift to remove Cowling bridge (191) and replacing it with a new bridge.
We have explored the option of doing this work as a restriction but unfortunately due to the nature of the works, involving heavy lifting and large cranage, we need to do a canal closure to ensure the safety of customers and those working on site.
This means the navigation will be closed from 14 February 2024 through to 27 February 2024.
