Map

From Hall Lane to Dam Side Aqueduct the canal has been filled and grassed. New crossing will be needed at Hall Lane, Foggs Aqueduct, Smithy Bridge and Dam Side.

The next section from Dam Side to Burnden Railway Viaduct is partially filled. It is not clear if any restoration is possible upstream of Bentley Bridge because of the construction of Bolton Inner Relief Road. The road was built on the line of the canal destroying Bradford Road Bridge and the Terminus at Church Wharf.

With the loss of the Bolton Terminus it is not clear at what point the restoration should finish.
