Droitwich Barge Canal emerging from under the A449
The canal has now been dredged and the earth dam that was more or less at the tail of the embankment has been excavated out.

Line of Droitwich Barge Canal
From the verge of the A449 looking at the canal coming from Droitwich. The line of reeds denotes the line of the canal and it dives into a narrow culvert just below the fence by the nearest tall tree. The embankment has been cleared, presumably, ahead of the forthcoming work to restore the canal to a navigable state for vessels bigger than a toy submarine.

The Droitwich Barge Canal approaching the A449
Compare this with Image The line of trees on the right still marks the line of the weed choked canal. The metal fence is over the portal of the new tunnel under the A449. The new cut is between the portal and a bund in front of the weeds. A little water can be seen through the railings. I understand that the Barge Canal from the Severn to Droitwich is to be full navigable before the Junction Canal and that this may happen during the Winter of 2009/10. The lock are all just about done and the major remaining job is to complete dredging all the pounds. Some dredging of the section between Droitwich and lock No. 1 has been undertaken but I haven't photographed it.

Restoration of Droitwich Barge Canal
The line of the canal is seen in front of the trees on the right. The sheet piling marks one edge. The concrete slab indicates the tunnel under the A449. This has been one major civil engineering project. The locals will be very glad when both carriageways of the A449 are restored. The work was for 27 weeks but is subject to some slippage.
