Please be advised that navigation through Hawkesbury Lock is currently closed due to a mechanical failure.
The paddle rod has become detached, meaning the lock cannot be operated safely and has been taken out of service.
A planned stoppage is already scheduled at this location from 2 November. As a result, this unplanned stoppage will remain in place until the commencement of the planned works, with repairs to be undertaken as part of that stoppage.
The notice for this can be found here: Hawkesbury Lock | Canal & River Trust
We apologise for the inconvenience and thank boaters for their patience and understanding.
