The Schoolhouse Bridge, near Pant in Shropshire, was knocked down many years ago when the canal was abandoned.The idea was to rebuild the bridge, dig out an embankment which blocked the canal and eventually get boats to use the canal again. The reconstruction will take until the end of summer, Michael Limbrey, Chairman of the Restore the Montgomery Canal group, said.Volunteers have spent six years raising the funds, confirming the design and reaching agreements with landowners .The work will involve digging out an embankment across the canal and then rebuilding the bridge
Once the structure is in place, the focus will turn towards reconnecting the derelict section to the border with Wales at Llanymynech, Mr Limbrey said.to restore a section of the Montgomery Canal from Llanymynech to Arddleen near Welshpool."The idea then is it would be possible to get here, by water, by boat from anywhere across the country."
