Third-party contractors will be carrying out concrete repairs to the soffit, elevations, and abutments of Bridge 70. To support these works, a pontoon will be installed within the canal, necessitating a closure of the navigation. A scaffold tower will also be positioned on the towpath; however, it can be moved as required to allow customer access. Appropriate signage and banksmen will be in place on site to ensure the safe management of towpath users.
