Gloucester Docks - Victoria Swing Bridge

We are pleased to advise that contractors will be commencing work to repaint Victoria Swing Bridge on 18th June 2020 but this may unfortunately mean short delays for craft using the channel between Victoria Basin and Gloucester Dock. Vessels should navigate slowly through the channel and follow any advice or requests from the site team, to help keep everyone safe.

The bridge will also be closed to pedestrians for much of the duration, but local signage is in place indicating alternative routes.

We expect work to be completed by 10th July at the latest, but progress will be affected by the weather and could be delayed by wet conditions.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these maintenance works to this important structure. Please contact us on [email protected] should you wish to speak with a member of our Customer Support Team about this notice or ring Freephone Canals on 0800 4799947 in the case of an out of hours emergency.
