Works onsite to repair the failed culvert between Bridge 38, Black Road Bridge and Bridge 39, Hollands Bridge on the Macclesfield Canal are progressing well, with a view to re-water the section over the weekend. Testing will be completed early next week and we are hopeful to resume navigation in time for the Spring Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May.
