This section is nearly complete. In the distance there is a shallow stretch to be dredged but the foreground and middle distance of the river appears to be full depth. The towpath is being constructed in the left hand bank and contains the bywash pipeline that connects the two canals around the river section. The left bank is formed by sheet piling but the right bank is a profiled earth embankment.
