Stoppages & Restrictions Listing
Under Bridge 12, Thurcaston Road Bridge
Update on 20/12/2023:
After a further review by our engineers, it has been decided that Thurcaston Road Bridge is to remain closed off with permanent fencing.
The closure is still in place as the sink hole is still there and needs our maintenance team to carry out the required repair works.
The towpath is still closed although we have been able to reduce the risk on the ground with the improved fencing.
Work is being planned in for next year, and we will update this notice by the end of August or as soon as we have further information. We will continue to monitor the situation carefully.

Starts At: Bridge 107, Gas Works

RESTRICTION (8am Monday 20 November 2023 until 5pm Saturday 1 March 2025)
Contractors working on behalf of High Speed 2 Limited, are undertaking works to construct a new railway viaduct over the canal. To undertake these works, the contractor has installed a temporary towpath through the works and boat movements will be reduced to one boat through the works at a time.
Towpath users are required to use the temporary towpath which is on a pontoon. Temporary traffic lights will be installed to control boats moving through the works area.
Short duration towpath closures may be required by the contractor between November 2023 and March 2025. Please pass through the area with care.
