Description

A closure is required for repairs to the lower lock gates in order to reduce leakage.   The closure will commence at 4pm on Tuesday 26th June and extend through Wednesday 27th, finishing on Thursday 28th June, at 8am. 

This takes advantage of longer daylight hours to enable safe completion of all the works required.
