Description

Original 16 June 2026, 11:32am

We will be carrying out essential repairs to Boston Lock gates between 13th and 25th July.

Due to the tidal nature of the lock, all works will be planned around tidal conditions.

During this period, craft may be instructed to wait for up to 30 minutes while the site is made safe to pass. A lock keeper will be present to assist during the works.

Please follow all instructions given on site and proceed with caution.
