Loxwood

Drove over to Loxwood to view the rebuilding of the road bridge over the canal - paid for by the pile tops
Wey & Arun Canal Trust (WACT). Much work has been done since January as can be seen in the photo with the Onslow Arms in the background. There are telephone cables slung from the I beam; also water main.

Below: the shuttering is being prepared for the concrete pour.
contruction overview
The road has been closed at times; today (5 April 08) half the road width was open with alternate working controlled by temporary traffic lights.
The Saturday work party were in evidence - they had muddy clothes as they walked back along the footpath towards the 'Arms' at lunchtime. The narrow boat 'Zachariah Keppel' was being prepared for 3 afternoon trips. We wondered if they would get many passengers as the weather was cool today, but was still sunny at 12 noon.
