Description

Original 27 July 2026, 2:17pm

Due to low water levels in the section from Lock 12 to Lock 6, a navigation closure has been put in place. By closing this section, we are hoping that the water levels will be given time to recover overnight and that the bywash at Lock 13 will be able to replenish this section of navigation and improve the water levels overnight
