Following our last update, our team has carried out scans of the area ahead of installing the new handrail. The scans have shown that the ground is not deep enough to support the proposed handrail. Our engineers will now develop and submit an alternative design for the handrail. The new design will need to receive further heritage approval before the installation can proceed. Please continue to follow the signage in place and take extra care when passing through the area. We will provide a further update on or before Thursday, 1 October.

Bridge 165 to Bridge 165A

Published

Navigation between Bridge 165 and Bridge 165A at Middlewich on the Trent & Mersey Canal remains restriction while third-party contractors carry out the construction of a new bridge crossing over the canal. The cofferdam installed along the offside of the canal remains in place due to a delay with works required to the offside bank, which are expected to continue until the middle of September. As a result, the navigation channel is narrowed, and boats are unable to pass each other at this location. The bridge construction works are continuing, and they are scheduled to be completed by 5 pm on Tuesday 30 November 2026. Although the canal remains open to navigation throughout the works, customers are asked to approach the area with caution and follow any instructions provided by the contractors on site.

We apologise for the need to schedule an in‑season stoppage on the Kennet & Avon Canal. We are carrying out essential improvement works at Heales Lock 93, including the replacement of the top and bottom gates. To complete this work safely, a stoppage will be in place from 5th October until the 20th November. These works were originally planned for the recent intensive maintenance period but had to be deferred due to flooding and river conditions preventing mobilisation to site. Following local consultation it has been agreed that this is the preferred time to undertake these essential works. Thank you for your understanding and patience while these improvements take place. You are welcome to contact us at [enquiries.walessouthwest@canalrivertrust.org.uk](mailto:enquiries.walessouthwest@canalrivertrust.org.uk) or 03030 404040 if you would like to discuss this information with a member of our Customer Service Team.
