Leeds and Liverpool swing bridge closures -- Dock Swing Bridge #209 (now until July 6th) and Morton Swing Bridge #198A (July 8th)

Well, doesn't it just get better and better... ?

 

Dock Swing Bridge #209 (the one next to Saltaire Brewery) is broken, won't be fixed until next Tuesday (July 6th), and is supposedly only open from 2pm-2:30pm each day until then.

Morton Swing Bridge #198A (west of Bingley) will be closed on Thursday July 8th from 10am-2:30pm due to a power cut at East Morton.

We were due to go through Dock on Saturday but now can't get there in time, and through Morton on Thursday.

 

Could things get any worse? ?

Yes it hasn't rained for 3 days so crt will be closing Skipton to Wigan due to "vandalism" causing a water shortage
