obstruction, coping stone Lock 60 Winkwell Locks, Grand Union

We are pleased to announce that Lock 60, Winkwell Lock has re-open to the navigation. Our contractor has successfully removed the coping stone that was affecting the gate operation.    Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Due to a boater colliding with the copings, which caused them to be dislodged and fall into the canal, we have had to restrict the navigation at lock 60.

Currently lock 60 is not open for wide beam passage.

This notice will be updated when a confirmed date on site is finalised.

We have tried to move the coping stuck behind the towpath side gate today by hand and unfortunately it is still impeding on gate operation. Contractors are being instructed to action. Lock is not open to wide beams currently. Notice will be updated when a confirmed date on site is finalised.

We have been made aware that a coping stone has been dislodged from the lock top gate and fallen into the navigation

Whilst using the lock, we ask that you please pass with care whilst we make the necessary arrangements to have the stone recovered.

We will update this notice once we have further information
