  There are a number of pedestrian routes crossing the Dudley No 2 canal that will need to be preserved and possibly 4 bridges needed to cross the canal. The Somery road bridge remains and needs to be excavated and should be useable.

Position of bridges 1 and 2 and which side is best for the tow path will need to be determined.
