Canal Embankment Collapse in England
Update: 2025-12-20
Description
In a dramatic start to 2025, Englands Bridgewater Canal near Little Bollington collapsed, causing flooding in Dunham Massey Park. Local dog walker Daniel Kaye witnessed the event, describing it as a bomb explosion. Workers quickly installed temporary dams to stem the flow. The canal has flooded before, but repairs are underway, with stabilization work almost complete. Soil tests confirmed no health risks, and ecological surveys are planned. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2026, with a full reopening by the end of the year.
