The section of canal towpath between the Murano Street bridge and Shakespeare Street (see #192196) remains closed for resurfacing.
The Forth & Clyde Canal towpath approaching Firhill Road bridge. This section has yet to be resurfaced. The section under the bridge is cobbled.
The resurfaced section of the canal towpath between Applecross Street and the Claypits bridge only starts at the end of the cobbles.
Port Dundas Basin, seen from the top of the steps to the west of Sighthill Circus. Don't be fooled into thinking this is the ramped route to avoid the steps. That diverged back at #192466, and can be seen joining the canalside from the … [more]
The path from Pinkston Road approaching Port Dundas Basin. The path to the right is the step-free route to the canal.
The path from Port Dundas Basin leads around the corner of the basin and heads over to Pinkston Road. There is another step-free route (out of shot to the right) which leads to the Sighthill Bridge.
The start of the unsigned diversion route for the canal towpath closure still has signs up for the Stockingfield diversion.
The canal towpath is now closed for resurfacing. Work can be seen going on in the distance. However, the only information for the diversion route is on the notice at the closure. The route itself, which is via the parallel main road, is not … [more]
Some of the gates across the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath are now regularly shut across the path again.
Poor surface on towpath beyond Ruchill Street. [I have since learnt that this path is being upgraded shortly, see https://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/news/forth-clyde-canal-towpath-upgrade/ ]
I think that is the bridge that gives Tinkers Bridge it's name on the Grand Union Canal, Milton Keynes
Van and car parking on the (presumably shared use) footway connecting the Craighall Road toucan crossing to the Forth & Clyde Canal at Speirs Wharf. The car is also blocking a dropped kerb (the dropped kerb can be seen better in #188011).
Toucan crossing on North Canal Bank Street, connecting the cycleway to the bascule bridge over the canal.
Dropped kerbs have now been installed to assist with cycling around the gate at Speir's Wharf, addressing the issue in #170157.
The resurfacing of the path from the Forth & Clyde Canal to Netherton Road, down the side of the David Lloyd Club only lasts a few metres, but it at least eliminates the step between the existing asphalt and the rest of the path.
It's great that the path from Netherton Road to the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath has been widened and resurfaced, but those bollards are just in the way at the point of a blind corner. Put them at the road end of the path where they would be … [more]
Details of the steps down from the Stockingfield Bridge. There is a wheeling ramp (with the usual problems they entail), but once the bridge is properly open, using the main ramp will be far more attractive for those cycling. See also … [more]
Stepped access from the Stockingfield Bridge down to the canalside path towards Gilshochill. See also #186428.
The main arc of the new Stockingfield Junction bridge appears to be unofficially open, but the branch to Ruchill still has barriers. The steps provide a direct route option for pedestrians not needing the ramp.
The path towards Gilshochill suddenly gets narrow. Narrow enough that for people to pass, one has to stand aside off the path.
The ramp up to the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath from Lochburn Road has been made wider and resurfaced.
View of the very busy Accademia footbridge, from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection museum, on the Grand Canal, Venice.
Traghetti are paddled across the Grand Canal in Venice, weaving in between the oncoming motorized Vaporetti - which act as the city's public system. A traghetto is a gondola used as a ferry to cross the canal for 2.5 Euros. Two oars people … [more]
@scottishcanals the approach to the canal at Stockingfield is blocked by a car https://t.co/YGzt9A4nhx
Why advertise that the access ramps are open onto towpath at Stockingfield then allow vans to park on them forcing people into deep mud?. And I walked round from the house the other evening with yard brush to clean glass off I mentioned … [more]
No surface improvement to the canal towpath at Firhill Road. The improvement stops at the Ruchill Street bridge.
The towpath of the Forth & Clyde Canal at Stockingfield Junction has reopened, with just the bridge remaining closed.
The towpath of the Forth & Clyde Canal at Stockingfield Junction has reopened, with just the bridge remaining closed.
The cobbles under the Ruchill Street bridge have been replaced by asphalt, removing one hazard at this very narrow section of path built in modern times. See #92011 for previous surface.
@cyclestreets @paulbristow79 Here’s a good one at Potters lock on the Erewash canal. A triple whammy of shin denting, knee bumping Head banging carnage.. https://t.co/DXEE9Uz3yH
Active travel routes into and around Sighthill still closed. This is at Port Dundas Basin. Opened 2023, see #192415.
The stepped footbridge over the Forth & Clyde Canal at Westerton has had wheeling ramps added at one side.
The path from the Forth & Clyde Canal footbridge at Old Farm Road over to Netherton Road is in a very poor condition (still). What doesn't show up in the photograph is the step between the asphalt surface and the washed-out unsealed path.
The route sign at the Bowline junction, east of Bowling. NCN7 is now signed via the new Bowline route, while NCN754 continues along the canal towpath. In the Clydebank direction, NCN7 is incorrectly shown in brackets.
The area could do with tidying up, noting the routes people actually use, and to have some benches installed.
Progress on the bridge under construction at Stockingfield Junction, looking through the worksite gate.
The sign on the gate says "No Parking" but there is no enforcement. The footway forms the link between the partly installed toucan crossing across Craighall Road and the canal path.
The canal path access next to the Centre81 community centre is now opened. There are steps and a hair-pin bend ramp. The community centre also has some cycle parking.
There is a lack of a dropped kerb to allow access to the canal towpath at the end of the car park at Firhill. A temporary ramp has been provided, but this is possibly related to the construction work on the bridge to the Claypits nature … [more]
