Please be aware the navigation will now be closed at Lock 5 for only one day, on 4th July 2019.
We have changed the methodology for work on site, including replacement of the top gate, and this has reduced the requirement for a longer stoppage.
Work will begin on 1st July and take 10 days to complete, so please take care if you are in the area.
Description
The navigation will be closed at Lock 5, Walsall, to carry out replacement of the top gate.
