Description

We are currently experiencing very low water levels in the River Ouse downstream of Linton Lock and siltation build up.

Skippers to proceed with caution when approaching the downstream section at Linton Lock:

Vessels travelling upstream to Linton Lock must follow the right-hand bank to find the deepest channel.

Vessels travelling downstream of Linton Lock must follow the left-hand bank to find the deepest channel

We will be realigning the current marker buoys in the coming weeks, depending on river flows.
