Please be advised that we will be carrying out a dive survey of the Purton Upstream Safety Gates in preparation for their replacement next year.
To ensure the safety of the dive team, navigation will be restricted between 8:00am and 5:00pm. During this time, the canal will be temporarily closed for periods of up to two hours while diving operations are underway.
A 30-minute passage window will then be provided before the next closure period begins.
The planned passage windows are:
Following the final closure period, all navigation restrictions will be removed at 5:00pm.
Boating customers are requested to follow all instructions from on-site staff, allow extra time for their journey and be prepared for delays.
These navigation restrictions are essential to protect personnel carrying out underwater works.
We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we carry out these important works.
