The submerged tree will be removed while we close the navigation for one day (Wednesday 25th May) to undertake these works by contractors using heavy duty equipment.
We have issued a navigation closure notice on (22388) to advise on the day closure needed to carry out these works from the winding hole just below the tree to next winding hole upstream from the tree. To enable boaters to be able to turn around if needed
Description
A tree is submerged below the waterline at Bridge 2 makng it difficult for boaters to see on approach.
Could skippers of all crafts, please slow down and approach the area with caution.
