Engineers have attended this morning. The bridge requires a replacement part which will mean it will remain out of action until that part can be sourced and fitted. This notice will be updated when more information is available. Trust staff will be on-site at 10am and 3pm each day to manually allow boats through. We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause boaters.
Please be advised that the navigation is currently closed at Shirley Drawbridge following a vehicle strike on one of the barriers. Our contractors have been contacted, and will attend to make repairs. In the meantime, our local team will be on-site at 10am and 3pm each day to manually allow boats through. We will provide a further update as soon as we receive one.
