Navigation is currently closed at Shirley Drawbridge after a vehicle struck the barriers. Our contractors have been contacted, and we're hoping to have the repairs completed this afternoon. In the meantime, our local team will be on-site at 3:00 PM today and 9:00 AM tomorrow (22/07/25) to manually allow boats through, if the repairs haven't been finished by then. We will provide a further update as soon as we receive one.
