Navigation on the Rushall Lock Flight remains closed due to complications arising from planned works currently being undertaken in the mile pound between Lock 2 and Lock 3.

Our team has now recommenced works on site and progress is back on track. Further updates will be provided as work continues, with the next update expected by Tuesday.

We have had to close navigation on the Rushall Lock Flight due to complications arising from planned works currently being undertaken by our team in the mile pound between Lock 2 and Lock 3.

As part of these works, four courses of brickwork have been removed from the canal wall. To protect the integrity of the embankment and prevent water levels rising above the remaining brickwork, the water level in the mile pound has been lowered. As a result, boats are unable to proceed through the Rushall Lock Flight until further notice.

Our team will attend site tomorrow to assess the situation further. We will provide a further update by Thursday.
