Please be aware the navigation at Lock 87 is now open.
The reactive response team worked through last weekend, helped by a great group of volunteers, which enabled the repairs to be completed earlier than originally expected.
Description
A stoppage is required at Lock 87 to fit transfer beams on the tail gates in order to prevent further movement of the gates, to mitre the tail gates and to fit gate liners.
The timing of this closure has been planned to coincide with other winter works in the area.
