Leamington Lift Bridge - closed

Walked passed the Leamington Lift Bridge earlier today, and it is indeed now closed (as you can see from the heras-fencing) for several months, meaning all traffic (by bike and/or by foot) needs to go round the canal-basin as an alternative - some more formal information available here ...

... and some further general background (which I know I've blipped before), on this fascinating structure, is available via these links:

You can even watch it in operation here ;-)
