Restriction: Lock 1, Leeds Lock

Roberts wharf is to renovated and turned into flats and office accommodation. The works include new bank protection piling at the downstream end of the site, erection of temporary scaffolding for access to repair the face of the building adjacent to the river, and construction of a cantilevered pedestrian walkway out over the river. It is also likely that some stone pitching will be placed to stabilise existing silt banks along the river bank. The works will be marked with lights, cruciforms and buoys and may also be protected with temporary or permanent fendering. Craft should keep clear at all times whilst waiting to enter the lock and accessing the visitor moorings in front of Fearns Wharf. It is not anticipated that navigation will be restricted or stopped at any time, however craft passing the site should be prepared to stop and wait whilst a safe route is cleared if so directed.

Advice: Original Ferrybridge Bridge

Scaffolding will be erected along the outside of the bridge to give access to the parapets to repair vandalism damage. This will not reduce the available navigable height. Craft should approach with caution and avoid arches if possible where work is ongoing overhead to install or remove scaffolding.
During the works the scaffolding will be enclosed to protect craft from falling tools, materials etc. The work is expected to be completed mid-April.
