It's nice to know that the water works properly!

 

BW have to spend a period testing everything, as they were doing in the photo. All the construction has finished but there are bits of tidying up still to be done.

 

The channel and lock between Mann Island and Canning Dock are in the middle of an active construction site so there may be some issues there that are delaying the date for allowing boaters through.

 

Ah!...The Rochdale re-opening, the good old days when they allowed this.

Interesting... If Fred says so, I suppose it must be April.. However just to be sure I'll wait for Ken Barlow and Eccles to do the official announcement..

 

Email ( 23/2) from BW projects at Balfour Beatty said 'Spring 09'

 

We have started provisional arrangements for Ship Canal / Mersey leg.

But still awaiting someone at BW (Wigan) to confirm arrangements for entering the South docks from the river.
