Thanks to donations from members of the public through the Friends of the Canal & River Trust, three of the Birmingham Canal Navigations' well recognised cast iron canal bridges are being given a facelift as part of a £130,000 eight-week repair and maintenance project. The Trust plans to restore Icknield Square Junction Bridge, Rotton Park Junction Bridge and Lea Bridge, all of which are located on the BCN Main Line between Birmingham and Smethwick. Each of the bridges will have the old paintwork removed, areas of rust and damage carefully repaired and then several coats of specialist paint applied. The brick and sandstone walls supporting the bridges will also be repaired and graffiti, which has been sprayed along the bridge sides and on the walls, will also be removed.
