A navigation closure is required for replacement of the bottom gates and repair of the top gates. We will also be doing chamber & quadrant repairs. The full flight will be closed so water levels can be controlled and the works carried out safely. Works will also be taking place at Locks 2, 3 and 4 on the Marple Flight at the same time.
