Navigation is currently closed at Wrenbury Swing Bridge, Bridge 20 on the Llangollen Canal due to a vehicle strike causing damage to the barriers.

Our local team have been informed and are in attendance.

An update will be provided tomorrow, Wednesday, 19 November.

Somebody has realised if they clout the barrier the bridge remains in their favour for a day or two.

C&RT need to do the old cartoon cement in a can trick so they do a grands worth of damage to their vehicle!

Just idiots running the flashing red lights and sirens and hoping to beat the descending barriers. Seen them do it. 

[Victor Vectis]

The same at Shirley.

Wrenbury bridge is fixed. Until the next time...
