Description

Original 19 June 2026, 12:41pm

A navigation closure is required as a redundant paddle is leaking and causing significant operational issues, which have rendered the lock inoperable.

An initial repair was unsuccessful and a further stoppage is now required to carry out additional works. During the stoppage we will undertake further repairs to blank off the leaking paddle outlets and restore the lock to operation.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.
