What CRT said it was for
The paddle repair at Lock 45 on the Rochdale Canal has now been completed. However, navigation remains closed between Locks 37 and 48 due to low water levels caused by the continued dry weather. Our team is continuing to work to restore water levels in the affected area and is feeding additional water into the canal to help with recovery. Further details about the navigation closure between Lock 37 & Lock 48 can be found via the following link:https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/019febf6-efbb-726f-bf3f-c9b3d860d19b
