Repairs to the gates at Lock 50 have been successfully completed according to plan and the site is being de-mobilised. 

However, unfortunately, we have encountered problems in relation to the removal of the fabric dams from the site.  This means we will be unable to re-open the navigation until the afternoon of Monday 18th March. 

We apologise for the inconvenience this delay may cause.
