Fallen tree at Bridge 34 (Prestwood Bridge)
We currently have a fallen tree blocking navigation at Bridge 34 (Prestwood Bridge).
Our contractors have been informed and are attending site today to begin clearance works. Due to the size of the tree, clearance may take a couple of days before navigation can be fully reopened.
Thank you for your patience while we work to restore safe passage. We will provide further updates as soon as we receive them.
