Well underway after the winter floods delayed work.
Very busy loads of workmen and equipment on site.
Popped up for a quick look.
Gates appear to be back but chamber empty.
Lots of stuff going on in area around lock.
Hopefully open by first week in June.
No sign yet of any improved moorings in lock cut ?

Nice to see the EA are investing in the infrastructure of the Upper Medway and that PEEL ports are making some efforts to tidy up the river below the lock.
Rumours that controlled passage simlar to Hammersmith ?? might be allowed to get boats transiting the lock ASAP.
Things are looking up.
