Description

Original 13 November 2026, 2:36pm

Following a breach that occurred yesterday at Culvert 51, between Bridge 50 and Bridge 53 on the Llangollen Canal, Hurleston Lock Flight has been closed until further notice.

This temporary closure is necessary to enable our teams to safely manage and stabilise water levels. The breach has impacted the water supply to this section of canal, and restricting boat movements is essential to help conserve water.

Further information about the breach, including the latest updates, can be found here.

A further update will be provided on or before Monday, 16 November.
