Descriptions

Update 28 November 2025, 11:01am

Following a site review of the works, we're now confident that the works can be completed within a shorter stoppage window than originally planned. The revised stoppage dates are 26th January to 27th February, meaning the whole of the Shropshire Union Canal will be open for most of January, and will be closed at Lock 10 for a shorter duration.

Original 6 May 2025, 9:54am

A navigational closure is required for a top lock gate replacement.
