Canal Dredging Works

in General

Good afternoon

We have instructed contractors to carry out canal deepening works between the Kings Arms gates and Regents Wharf (Cotfield Street) downstream.
This is necessary to enable deeper drafted vessels to transit the Canal.

The work will be carried out by an excavator on a pontoon focusing mostly in the middle of this Canal section from Monday 20th February for up to 5 weeks.
One of our team will operate a boat at the location on the first day of works to warn users.

Please can you ask members or customers to keep well clear of the excavator working area during these works.

Please contact myself or Grahame if you have any queries

Best Regards

    Good afternoon

    Further to my last email the Canal team have deployed one of the “Weir Ahead” warning buoys in the main river channel upstream of Trews Weir.

    The remaining two yellow warning markers have been deployed by the Kings Arms isthmus to mark where silt extraction pipes will sit.

    We advise water users to keep clear of these markers during the works.

    Best Regards
