This may stem the invasion of the widebeams. Notice Alert Grand Union Canal Location: Bridge 24 Warwickshire Fly Boats, Long Itchington, Grand Union Canal Starts At: Bridge 22, Bridleway Ends At: Bridge 60, Blue Bridge Up Stream Winding Hole: Kingswood Junction Down Stream Winding Hole: Napton Junction Tuesday 27 June 2023 08:00 until further notice Type: Navigation Restriction Reason: Structure failure Original message: Unfortunately movement of the towpath side waterway wall underneath this bridge has caused the canal width to reduce by 120mm, and so, for the foreseeable future, we’re having to for the foreseeable future reduce maximum beam for navigation from the published 12’6” to 12’. Following a detailed review of the options for repair, and thorough ground investigations and surveys, we have concluded that the benefits to customers are substantially outweighed by the costs of carrying out the works. We have an ageing infrastructure, and we have to carefully prioritise our spend based on risk. We will continue to monitor the bridge and particularly the narrows and, in the future, when we need to carry out any structural repairs to the bridge we will again consider widening of the narrows, and update you accordingly. In the meantime, boats up to 12’6” can be winded at Napton Junction.

Hi. I've recently started a new blog on wordpress.com and have had great success with it. I've had around 200 views in the first few days of the blog, but am now struggling for material to write about. The blog is called Canal Works and Nature, the URL is - http://www.canalworksnature.wordpress.com . I would be ever so greatful if anyone could give me a few ideas on what to write about, or any opinions on the stuff I have already began. Cheers
