NAVIGATION CLOSURE (11.15am Thursday 19 October 2023 until further notice)
Haddlesey Lock is also closed and passage is not possible due to the structure failure at Bank Dole Lock.
The bottom riverside lock gate has suffered a structural failure at Bank Dole Lock.
Our engineers have inspected the gate and advised the lock must be closed until suitable repairs to the lock gate can be undertaken.
Repairs to the lock gate are being planned now and hopefully these can be undertaken soon and allow the lock to reopen.
It is not possible at this time to confirm any timeframe for when the repairs will take place and the lock reopen for normal use. It is unlikely the repairs will take place this week, therefore it is unlikely the lock will reopen until sometime next week at the earliest.
