THE LICHFIELD & HATHERTON CANALS Restoration Trust has installed a new lift bridge.

This is over the canal at Gallows Reach and will eventually continue to give a right of way over the waterway when eventually the canal is re-watered.

Right of way established

It will remain in the lowered position until the waterway there is finally restored, as a right of way, that has already been established.

When restored it can of course be raised to allow boats through.

It was manufactured by ProMack Ltd and is a steel structure, and so should last for many decades.

This of course is all part of the restoration of the waterway.
