BUILDING WORK SPIKE ISLAND 17TH DEC 2014

[Deleted]

Had a walk round to see the progress on the approach road and the Coffer Dam on the Widnes side. Here's a few photo's.

CANAL SIDE WORKS FOR APPROACH ROAD

 

THE ORANGE BLOCK OVER THE FOOTPATH SIGN APPEARS TO BE SURROUNDED IN THE GROUND BY STEEL WORK AND I THINK THIS MAY BE THE INTERNAL REINFORCEMENT FOR A SUPPORT FOR THE ROADWAY

NEXT TIME I VISIT I WILL CHECK THIS OUT.

 

Thanks for looking

If your care to take a walk along the towpath at the side of the canal , from the boathouse up to were the canal is now blocked for the building of the new bridge you will see about 3 or 4 of these beer kegs . These kegs indicate mooring positions for some of the boats and are a lot cheaper than the proper buoys.
