Description

Original 14 October 2026, 5:08pm

An inspection by the Asset Management Team will take place on Tuesday 20th October between 10:00am-4:00pm, as they will be undertaking a boat-based survey through the tunnel.

 Given the confined nature of the tunnel and the need to safely conduct the inspection activities, temporary restrictions on navigation will be necessary during this period. Some delays are to be expected, as the inspection will require the boat to travel in the centre of the navigation. 

Please follow advice from staff onsite.
