Due to low water levels causing boats to become grounded, the navigation is closed between St Mary's Mill Lock 40 on the River Soar to King's Lock 38 on the Grand Union Leicester Line. Please also note that the Leicester Line is closed from King's Lock 38 to Watford Lock 1 and more detail about this closure can be read here: [From Watford Lock 1 to Kings Lock 38 | Canal & River Trust](https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/01980e8f-a7ee-7611-9264-b2cef3d03f7b "https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/01980e8f-a7ee-7611-9264-b2cef3d03f7b") We are working hard to restore levels as soon as possible, however, this is likely to take until the end of the week.
