Following recent site conditions, there has been a slight delay in mobilisation due to ice. The contractor is now scheduled to mobilise on 09 January, with dam installation planned for 12 January.

Navigation will be closed from Batchworth Lock (Lock 81) to 100m above the lock, where a fabric dam and demarcation will be in place.

Please note that the towpath will remain open throughout the works, although there may be short, temporary restrictions while equipment is repositioned. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
