This involved repairs to the existing concrete channel, formation of new cutoffs to each end to prevent leakage, and repairs to the masonry walls.

The aqueduct channel was pumped out and desilted for inspection and a section of spandrel wall was taken down. The towpath was closed and a diversion via Calf Lane, Royal George Inn and Well'i'Hole was signed.

Initial access across the canal.

Concrete repairs underway.
