Well, at least they have done what they said they would do!

Except that, having opened the bridge and allowed boats passage through, they have now changed their minds and closed the bridge to all canal movements until they reassess things next week.

If that means getting a structural engineer to make sure the b*gger doesn't fall on somebody's head, I'm in favour.

The latest update is that the bridge is due to be partly demolished tomorrow. This will open up the canal to navigation but there will be no pedestrian or vehicular access across the canal until a new bridge is fitted. Great news!

Work was successful and navigation is now open to boats.
