Preston City Council leader Matthew Brown on sepsis, two week hospital stay and paramedics breaking down the doorReview: A visit to the Preston restaurant that’s Thai-ing up Lane EndsUsers of Lancaster Canal have been delivered a hammer blow after it was revealed the waterway at Woodplumpton will not reopen until the end of March next year.
“Supporting the aqueduct internally within repairs will be necessary before the foundation can be removed and replaced, alongside temporary works. These unforeseen challenges are expected to extend the navigation reopening date to the end of March 2025, although we are working hard to improve on this timeline.”It added: “To support the bed repair, the contractor has established improved access points, enabling the safe delivery of clay to the work area.
In the breach area, 40 tons of temporary fill material used to support the three-sided dam has been removed. This has been replaced with 40 tons of compacted clay as a permanent solution for the hole created when the water rushed out of the canal creating a scour to the bed of the canal, further hedges have been cleared on the east side of the canal.”Sign up below to receive Blog Preston's email newsletter.
