Railway Bridge, Coneygree
Update on 27/04/2023:
Additional brickwork repairs have been identified to the west abutment, which means that the pontoon will remain in place until the contractors complete these works on 05/05/23.
Update on 13/04/2023:
The birds have now left Coneygree Railway Bridge and contractors can restart the works on 24/04/23.
RESTRICTION (8am Monday 10 April until 5pm Sunday 30 April 2023)
Update on 29/03/2023:
Please be advised contractors have had to defer these works.
A duck has nested on the wingwall plinth of the Coneygree Railway Bridge, so the installation of the pontoon and the fendering need to be deferred to April. The exact dates are still unknown, but we will provide a further update as soon as we receive this.
Original message:
Contractors working on behalf of Midland Metro Alliance will install a protective fendering on the offside abutment at Railway Bridge, Coneygree.
A pontoon will be installed in the water to facilitate the installation of the fendering. The canal will remain open, but navigation traffic will be restricted to single lane traffic through the site throughout the works.
Signage and banksmen will be utilised to manage boaters. We kindly remind boaters to follow signage and directions given on site and take care when passing through this area
