Please be advised that to enable essential improvement works to the footbridge and sluice structure, the existing footbridge at Saul Junction sluice will be temporarily closed. 

To maintain access through the area, a temporary pedestrian route will be provided in the same location for the duration of the works. Clear signage will be in place to guide visitors safely through the site. 

As part of the works, a section of the Public Right of Way (PROW) crossing the site will also be subject to a temporary closure. An alternative signed route will be available, allowing continued access around the works area.   We kindly ask all visitors to follow the signed diversion routes and any instructions displayed on site to ensure everyone can use the area safely while the works are taking place.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while these improvements are completed.
