We're pleased to confirm that the works at Kingswood Lock 20 will be completed ahead of schedule, and navigation will reopen on 20 February. Some works will continue on the lockside after navigation has reopened, but these will not affect boat movements. Thank you for your patience while we've carried out these essential improvements.
