Due to the current spell of hot weather, we are experiencing issues that are affecting the operation of swing bridges on the Weaver Navigation. High temperatures can impact bridge mechanisms, and for safety reasons we are temporarily unable to operate these bridges.
This restriction only affects boats that normally require a booking for the bridges to be swung. If your boat is able to safely travel under the bridges without them being swung, this notice does not affect you.
Our teams are monitoring conditions daily, carrying out regular temperature checks, and reviewing the situation closely. As soon as temperatures reduce and it is safe to do so, we will provide a further update and reopen the bridges for navigation.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to boating plans.
A further update will be on or before Wednesday 27 May
