Towpath Closure only: Rabone Lane Bridge to Rolfe Bridge, Rolfe Street

Waterway: Birmingham Canal Main Line »

From 13/12/2011 until further notice

UPDATE (20 December 2011): Upon further investigation, it has been noted that the entire wall is in very poor condition and the likelihood of a further collapse is very high making use of the towpath dangerous. Until the situation can be resolved, we have reluctantly closed the section of the south towpath between Rabone Lane and Rolfe Street Bridge. The north towpath remains open during this time.

The south towpath of the New Main Line canal is currently closed between Rabone Lane Bridge and Main Line Turnover Bridge, Smethwick Junction due to a collapsed retaining wall. The towpath will be reopened when the area has been made safe.

British Waterways apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
