Bridge repairs are being undertaken by the Local Authority. In addition, this opportunity will be taken to undertake improvements to the navigation (fendering works etc). These stoppage dates coincide with planned Environment Agency works to Blake’s Lock; Blake’s Lock will be closed for the same period. Undertaking both projects at the same time should significantly reduce disruption to navigation.
