The Marsworth Flight is currently closed to navigation between Locks 43 and 45. This is due to a heavily fouled lock gate issue at Lock 44. Please refrain from entering the flight until this notice is lifted and the gate is operable. An update will be provided as soon as the situation has been resolved.
