Update 19 May 2026, 12:24pm

The Environment Agency have advised that if things continue to go to plan the navigation should be cleared by the 29th of May.

This notice will be updated once we have confirmation that this has been done.

Original 10 March 2026, 11:23am

Ongoing Environment Agency works to repair erosion damage to the flood embankment between the River Don and the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation, require the continued use of a pontoon and a barge to convey materials and machinery to and from site across the navigation.

Please exercise caution when approaching this area and co-operate with requests from site staff. Boaters may be asked to wait for up to 30 minutes until it is safe to pass through the work area.
