Liverpool Canal Link - Princes Dock
Whilst construction of the locks for the new canal link takes place at either end of Princes Dock, water has been retained in a large part of the dock by the use of temporary dams. At the northern end the dam provides a road link between Princes Parade and Tom Jessop Way, and in the centre (by the white footbridge) a dam and ramp allows vehicular access to the dock floor beyond. The dams were removed and the new link opened on the 20th April 2009.
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.
