A visit back to see the Building of Bridge 85, Schoolhouse Bridge on the Montgomery canal as well as the new lining works taking place near to Crickheath Wharf
The last major obstruction before reaching Wales on the Monty canal. Looking back to the construction and where the project is now it is nearly finished.
The Monty is a major project on the network with initial aims to get to Welshpool on the current complete sections after the success of rewatering to Crickheath basin.
On this site near to Shrewsbury and Oswestry we take a look at Beaver Bridges lifting the sections in place.

Great progress in surmounting some formidable challenges - not least in raising the finance to intall that impressive bridge. Making the canal 'leakproof' doesn't come cheap either. Thanks for the update.

[@johnsmurthwaite3656]

Please slow your presentation down, it all sounds so rushed, instead of calming us.

Fascinating to see all the work that’s going on! I was born and brought up in the area (although I moved away many years ago) but well remember what the canal looked like in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s! Thanks for the great video!

[@benjohnson614]

There's loads of canal work going on in Wiltshire as well good to see the water ways being restored back into use

[@terrywilcott2137]

Someone always has to moan 😮

[@ragandoil]

Bloody brill mate , really nice tp see , i walked the as a kid to St Helens Sankey canal , now all gone for a ball of chalk

[@arthurbaldwin1804]

I would feel a bit happier if something was happening in the welsh section of the canal. The Newtown end is being filled in as fast as possible and built on. There is a short stretch round Welshpool that was restored back in the late 1980’s but from Berriew through Abermule to Newtown it has become a stagnant weed chocked ditch.

The ££ million bridge is crap. Looks like some hornby design in blender with brick.bridge + gabions as a box set!! They could have done better than that. Lets hope some ivy or japanese knot weed grows fast and covers this disgrace.. .. ;-))

[@QALibrary]

that is a very impressive and great project that coming along nicely

[@arthur1670]

So replacing with a bodge job leaking in 30 years

[@davidheap880]

Great to see all the progress . Remember walking the Frankton to Queens Head section with WRG in the seventies

[@tomcarr1358]

Very encouraging. After your next visit could we have an unobstructed O S extract or similar to see the environs and border. Last time I used geotextile sheeting it was not waterproof but used to give a stable base for interlocking concrete paviours through which some surface water was encouraged to percolate..

Your platform just "appeared".

[@aBoatTime-uw9br]

Just discovered your excellent channel. Subscribed.

[@teaeff8898]

That concrete lining will be murder on the hull of a boat, scrape the blacking right off. 😮

[@thetessellater9163]

Regarding nesting birds, it's not that they don't want to disturb them, it's a criminal offence to do so.

[@leswall3061]

Due to the angle of filming, the canal doesn't look that deep really good video

[@SEANPOL203]

What countries

[@1979jon]

Drone footage is good, what make ia it?

[@geoffcropper1410]

Doesn't look very wildlife friendly.
