WORKS COMMENCE TO GAP 'MISSING LINK' IN NOTTINGHAM'S WATERWAYS

A LANDMARK £1.5 million scheme to link the Nottingham Beeston Canal and the River Trent will breathe new life into the area, creating a green traffic-free route for cyclists, boaters and walkers.

Works to link the Nottingham Beeston Canal and the River Trent are due to begin on 23rd May. The 24-week programme at Meadow Lane Lock will be managed by British Waterways. The scheme is set to improve facilities at the site and will improve access to Nottingham city centre for walkers, cyclists, boaters and disabled visitors - by providing the key ‘missing link’ between the existing canal towpath and Victoria Embankment.

Planned improvements include the installation of a wider footbridge and the creation of a public rest area. As well as a river viewing platform, and an improved boater amenity building, the scheme will create more visitor moorings for boats along the River Trent. The towpath will also be resurfaced, completing the final stage of the ongoing development work which taken place over the last five years along the Nottingham Beeston Canal.

Good news for Nottingham, we need more work like this to improve our local area.
