Liverpool Canal Link - working in Princes Dock 3
A view of Princes Dock during construction of the Liverpool Canal Link. In the distance the red and white barriers indicate the temporary ramp that was built to allow vehicles and construction equipment to access the dock floor. On the left the white concrete walls are part of the new lock system that allows boats to leave the Princes Dock on their way to Salthouse Dock.
