The replacement of the lock gate originally planned at Lock 2 is being deferred to release funds to deliver other arising works in the Region.
However, a stoppage is still required to enable us to carry out urgent repairs at Locks 3 and 4. These works include unblocking the culvert on the top paddle at Lock 3 and repairs to the top gate at Lock 4 to reduce water loss.
A shorter stoppage than initially planned is needed to complete these works and so the navigation closure has been reduced by two weeks. Please note the revised dates.
Description
Replace bottom gate. Repair quoins, cill and chamber brickwork.
Following customer feedback, we have delayed the start of this closure to allow additional cruising time over the new year period.
