Description

Original 16 July 2026, 1:58pm

Navigation at Marsh Lock on the Weaver Navigation is currently restricted to vessels less than 6 metres wide due to a fault with the lock mechanism.

Our local teams are on site carrying out repairs to the lock mechanism. Due to the size and complexity of these sea lock gates, these repairs are more extensive than those required for a standard lock gate and will therefore take longer to complete. We are aiming to have the repairs completed and the lock returned to full operation within the next two weeks.

If you'd like to make a new booking or discuss an existing one, our North West Customer Service Team will be happy to help on 03030 404040.

A further update will be provided on or before Thursday 30 July.
