Wolverhampton Lock Flight is currently closed to navigation. This is due to an issue at Lock 5, where a gate has come out of its cup. As a result, passage through the flight is not currently possible. Our teams have been notified and will be attending to assess and come up with a repair plan. We will provide a further update tomorrow (Friday 19 June)
