Pike Bridge Project




























The Work Underway Picture Gallery - The Final Phase of the Work


The whole new bridge is now essentially complete except finishing touches and some landscaping. There is still a lot of work to be done by volunteers under the bridge and tail of the lock.  It is then hoped that the bottom sill of Pike Lock will be built in preparation for regating the lock.
