Update 13 October 2025, 10:17am

The large tree limb previously at Ouse Bridge has been reported to have moved location and it has moved downstream and is now at Skeldergate Bridge causing an obstruction. Please may skippers of all crafts, please slow down and approach the area with caution as commercial trips will be active in this area.

Original 2 October 2025, 1:26pm

A large tree limb has become stuck, obstructing the entrance/exit of the arch of the Ouse Bridge closest to Kings Staith Landing side.

Please use the other arches and may skippers of all crafts, please slow down and approach the area with caution as commercial trips will be active in this area.

We will update the notice should there be any reported change in the location/position of the tree before we are able to retrieve the tree limb from the navigation with a workboat.
