Description

Original 13 February 2026, 3:32pm

Please could boaters be aware that, due to the high water levels and the closure of Don Doors, Sykehouse Lock is currently closed for passage.

We will continue to monitor water levels over the weekend and if they drop sufficiently for Don Doors to open, the lock will also be reopened.

This notice will be updated no later than 1600 on Monday, 16th February.
