Over the weekend our contractors started with the repair work to the culvert south of Bridge 87, Kent Green Bridge on the Macclesfield Canal.

Works progressed well on Friday the void within the towpath was repaired. Following which our contractors completed work to the canal bed on Saturday. Grouting was undertaken around the affected area on Sunday. Further work will continue this week and upon till Friday to reinstate the towpath.

Our engineers and contractors will carry out testing later this week to establish if the repair work to the canal bed was successful.

We are pleased to advise navigation can resume between Lock 13, Hall Green Stop Lock and Bridge 87, Kent Green Bridge and Bridge 89, Morris Bridge to Lock 12, Bosley Bottom Lock, as water levels have now stabilised.

However, for the safety of our customers and to ensure a safe working environment, the canal and towpath will remain closed between Bridge 87, Kent Green Bridge and Bridge 89, Morris Bridge.
