Please be advised that essential maintenance works are required at Gloucester Lock 2, including the re‑installation of stop plank channels, repairs to the west dockside ground paddle, and associated surveys within the lock.

These works were originally planned for November 2025 but could not proceed due to insufficient water depths across the dock, which prevented safe access.

The works were later provisionally rescheduled for the post‑Christmas stoppage period but were again unable to proceed due to river flood conditions, preventing safe access and working at the river entrance to the lock.

A revised planned closure is now scheduled from 29th June to 10th July 2026.

During this period, Gloucester Lock 2 and its approaches will be closed between 09:00 and 16:00 on weekdays.

Passage through the lock will be available outside of these hours, including during the weekend within the stoppage.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank customers for their patience and understanding.
