Cox still on the Rocks
Published: Friday, 04 March 2022
ENGINEERS have been unable to repair the broken Coxhead Swing Bridge (20) on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.
We were told there was a problem with the signals with engineers on site, Keith Gudgin reports.
In closed position
This occurred on Wednesday when the bridge was then locked in the closed position, of course stopping navigation.
But the engineers were unable to solved the problem with the signals, so the bridge remains closed to navigation.
Canal & River Trust advise that the engineers are back on site today, Friday, hoping to complete the repair.
LATEST: The swing bridge was reopened on Friday as intimated.
