Following an inspection, Froghall Basin Lock has been closed to navigation as a precautionary measure due to concerns regarding the structural integrity of the top gate.
The lock will remain closed until repairs can be undertaken. These repairs are currently planned to take place during the forthcoming winter stoppage programme.
