We would like to advise our customers that work has progressed well at Lock 16 and the navigation has now re-opened.
We have reviewed the stoppages on this section of the K&A Canal and have made the decision to alter the dates of this stoppage to coincide with another planned stoppage at Lock 20. This will help to minimise disruption and keep the navigation open for a longer period.
A stoppage is required to carry out some repair works. Resin grouting will be put behind the lock walls to fill up any voids and prevent deterioration of the lock structure.
