As the canal is closed at Lock 7 we do not expect this to cause any additional disruption to customers as the Marple flight is still currently closed due to the lock wall failure at lock 7.

NAVIGATION CLOSURE (until 4pm Sunday 13 October 2023)

Update on 06/10/2023:

We would like to advise our customers that we have bought this planned work forward.

This work has now been aligned with the current reactive navigation closure for Lock 7 of the Marple Flight. By doing this we are able to complete essential planned repair works with minimal disruption to customers.

Teams are currently on site and plan to complete these works by the 13th October 2023.
