Description

Original 1 May 2026, 2pm

Navigation is currently closed due to damage to the lock cill at Lock 26W on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal. The damage is preventing the lock from sealing correctly, which means it cannot be filled or operated.

Our team has assessed the issue and is arranging the necessary materials and resources to carry out the required repairs. Until these works are completed, the lock will remain unavailable to navigation.

Please note this area has another closure which can be found on the following link: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/019dbf07-0f48-7ee0-b04c-1842079ac44f

A further update will be provided by 4:00 pm on or before Tuesday, 5 May.
