Due to ongoing flooding at the Kegworth Lock 46 stoppage, we are currently unable to remove plant and equipment from the site by workboat. This will also delay the transport of equipment and materials to Gees Lock, which has no road access and can only be reached by workboat. As a result, the Gees Lock stoppage will now run from 19 January to 13 March. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding while we work to safely manage the impacts of the flooding.
