Update history

Our team has encountered some unforeseen delays which mean that additional time is required to complete these works.

As a result, the expected completion date has been extended to Monday 26 October 2026.

We appreciate that this is a further extension beyond the update previously provided and apologise for the additional inconvenience.

Mon, Oct 5

Please note that our team requires an additional week to complete these works. The expected completion date has therefore been extended to 19 October 2026.

We apologise for the additional inconvenience and thank you for your continued patience and understanding while these essential improvements are carried out.

Fri, Jul 31

To facilitate essential improvement works, the access point at Bridge 112 will be temporarily closed from 24 August 2026 until 12 October 2026. During this period, our team will be carrying out bank stabilisation and repair works. Due to the nature of the construction activities and the limited space available at the worksite, it is not possible to complete these works safely whilst maintaining pedestrian access along the towpath. For the safety of the public and site personnel, the towpath will remain closed for the duration of the works. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience while these essential improvements are carried out.

Conditions can change. Check local signage and the latest official notice before travelling.
