150 yds south of bridge 37
Wellsborough Bridge
Update on 25/07/2023:
The fallen tree has now been cleared at this location. The navigation is now open.
Update on 24/07/2023:
Contractors have attended the fallen tree approximately 150 yds south of Bridge 37 on the Ashby Canal.
They have removed some of the vegetation from the canal, but as the tree is still attached to the land on the offside we require a workboat to assist with the works.
The team will attend with a workboat tomorrow morning.
The tree is therefore still blocking the navigation and boaters are advised not to travel this section.
We will update the website with further information on Tuesday 25h July.
NAVIGATION CLOSURE (9am Monday 24 July 2023 until further notice)
A large tree has fallen from the offside, approximately 150 yds south of Bridge 57 on the Ashby Canal.
It is blocking the navigation and partially blocking the towpath.
Our team will be on site as soon as possible to asses the situation.
Boaters are advised to avoid this section of the navigation for the time being.
This notice will be updated later today.
