A navigation closure is required to allow repairs to the top and bottom lock gates. We will also be repointing the lock chamber. 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, 4 and 10 on the Marple Flight at the same time.
