A fallen tree from the offside is blocking the navigation on the North side of Chirk Tunnel. Access along the towpath is unaffected. Storm Goretti has impacted a number of our waterways, resulting in a high volume of incidents. Our teams are prioritising safety and are working to clear obstructions and reopen affected routes as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience while these matters are addressed and will provide updates as soon as they become available.
