Please be advised that the navigation is currently closed following a bridge strike. The offside parapet of the bridge has been damaged and is now leaning towards the canal. Due to the condition of the structure and the potential risk to passing boats and customers, the navigation has been closed as a precaution. Please do not attempt to pass beneath the bridge while the closure is in place. The bridge is being assessed by our engineers and the navigation will remain closed until the structure has been made safe. A further update will be provided as soon as more information is available. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
