Pondering method of bridge repair
Published: Friday, 12 March 2021
ENGINEERS have now been on site at the damaged Lancaster Canal bridge.
The damage to Ford Green Bridge (57) at Garstang was caused by a vehicle strike, though strangely Canal & River Trust state its 'reason' as vandalism, Keith Gudgin reports.
Method of repair
The engineers have assessed the damage caused by the vehicle strike and 'the teams work on a method of repair'. In the meantime both the towpath and navigation will remain closed.
It appears there is loose masonry that requires stabilisation.
