Good progress on Mon & Brec repairs
01 Aug 2008
INLAND WATERWAYS: Repairs to the bed of the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal following the major breach of October 2007 are making good progress and British Waterways (BA) says it is currently on target for the dry section of the canal to be re-filled by December and fully reopened by March 2009, writes Harry Arnold.
A short section of the canal towards the south end of the works was reopened at the end of May, enabling some boats to move back to their moorings.
BW says the current works – divided into a number of contracts – are simply those necessary to get the waterway and reopened and that there would be a requirement for further planned repairs in the future.
