NEXT WEEK WORK WILL FOCUS on recovering the three remaining boats affected by the Llangollen breach.
And that so far have been unrecoverable, Keith Gudgin reports.
To undertake this Canal & River Trust state—Work at the breach site will focus on recovering the three remaining boats. One boat that was winched clear of the breach before Christmas will be refloated by moving it into a dry section of canal, installing a temporary dam, and reintroducing water.
Also be recovered
As to the two boats currently within the breach these will also be recovered as part of the planned works.
An excavator will first be brought in to carefully re-profile the steep sides of the breach, creating a gradual slope to allow the boats to be winched out for assessment and, where possible, refloating.
