The gate replacement and repairs at Lock 44, Dukes Lock, are progressing as planned. However, continuing high water levels are severely hampering the brickwork repairs in voids on the abutments at Bridge 233, Wolvercote Lift Bridge.

We will do everything we can to complete this work as soon as possible and re-open the navigation by Wednesday 31st March.
