Maps 8 and 7 Towpath Improvements in Worksop, between Sandy Lane Bridge (41a) and Bridge Street Bridge (42)
Contractors on behalf of CRT are removing the existing towpath surface and installing a full replacement.
The work has been delayed, twice, by snow but is now underway, with a work-camp by Stret Lock. Towpath closures are in place. This photograph was taken on 27 February 2013, of a workparty between the Lady Lee Arm and Morse Lock (49) Map 8.
