What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Arcadis is currently assessing the Preston Brook Tunnel for the Canal & River Trust. Historically, Exeter was cut off from coastal shipping by weirs built across the River Exe. The Canal & River Trust manages a complex network of aging waterways, including 57 tunnels and 2,000 culverts dating back over 250 years.

The complexity of the UK’s canal network requires ongoing technological innovation for asset management. The historical disruption of Exeter's shipping due to weirs led to the town commissioning the Exeter Ship Canal to bypass the river.
