Liverpool Canal Link - linking the Princes Docks
This is the north end of Princes Dock where a substantial wall had been built between Princes Dock and Princes Half Tide Dock, leaving only pipes to allow the movement of water between the two. The new canal link required passage between these two docks so a temporary roadway and dam was built enabling the wall to be demolished and a canal lock to be built. The Waterloo Dock apartments can be seen in the background.
Liverpool Canal Link Project
The Liverpool Canal Link is a £22 million pound project that has linked the Leeds-Liverpool Canal from Stanley Dock, via Princes Dock, to Salthouse Dock and the Albert Dock complex. It is 1.4 miles long and has involved creating new locks, and channels and tunnels past the Pier Head.
The new canal was officially opened on the 22 April 2009.
