A months-long project will close a busy stretch of canal near Wiltshire from next week.
The Canal and River Trust will start work on resurfacing the canal towpath in Bath, between Bathwick Hill and Pulteney Gardens, on April 7.
The project, according to Bath's council, is designed to make the towpath more accessible to walkers, wheelers, and cyclists.
According to the Canal and River Trust’s notice for the works, the project is scheduled to see the stretch closed until June 19.
While the work is underway, the council says a diversion along the A36 will be in place, allowing users a straightforward way to avoid the works.
