We are aware of a tree causing an obstruction to navigation between Bridge 32 and Bridge 32A. The what3words location for the tree is ///spits.rope.mouth Our contractors have been contacted, and we are working closely with them to safely remove the obstruction and restore navigation access as quickly as possible. Storm Amy has caused widespread disruption across the network, with a high number of incidents involving fallen trees and vegetation. Our teams are prioritising safety and responding to these issues as quickly as resources allow. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to reopen the affected route.
