Please be advised that the bottom‑end lock beam at Lock 20 has failed. To enable the necessary repair works, a navigation closure will be required. On Monday 16 March, navigation through Lock 20 will be closed between 9:00am and 2:00pm while our team carries out the repairs. If the work is completed sooner and navigation can be reopened before 2:00pm, we will update this notice accordingly. Thank you for your patience while these essential repairs are undertaken.
