It was a pleasure to welcome the team from the Wilts and Berks Canal Trust to the site this week and show them the progress on the canal and road build. The works are really taking shape and this months update is accompanied by some photos.
The road to the west has had it’s first surfacing visit and is starting to look much smarter.
Work continues to complete the bridge, with preparations to pour the concrete capping beams underway to the north and south of the bridge
The view from the swing bridge shows that the canal formation works either side are underway, and the winding hole (where the north/south and east/west sections join) is being lined with clay.
Further east the canal has been lined and the banks prepared for the installation of the landscaping.
Looking ahead works continue on the bridge, with works on the road starting to focus more on the western section. The canal lining is also a critical activity and will hopefully be well progressed in time for the rain to start falling this Autumn.
