What CRT said it was for
Our teams have reinstalled robust barriers at Bridge 8, Nanney's Bridge, this morning to prevent road traffic from using the bridge and have put diversion routes in place. Initial inspections have now been completed, and as a result, we can confirm that the canal and towpath are now back open.
