Following a review of the works, this stoppage has been extended until 20 February to allow for additional tasks identified on site. We will now be carrying out grouting works to both lock chambers and the upstream approach walls. Please note that the Wigan Flight will already be closed in this area, and these works will be undertaken alongside the originally planned works at other locations on the flight.

We apologise for the need to add a navigation closure to carry out grouting works on the Lock. Grouting is a repair method where special cement is injected into cracks or gaps in the lock's structure. This helps stop leaks, strengthens the lock, and keeps it working well for years to come. During this period, towpath access will be restricted.
