River Thames – emergency lock closure
Rushey Lock
Tuesday 6 November 2012 to Friday 9 November 2012
Due to the ongoing works at Rushey Weir we are now at full capacity and unable to open any further weir gates. Due to rising river levels following recent rainfall in the area, we will be closing Rushey Lock as soon as possible today, Tuesday 6 November to help us manage water levels through the lock. We will re-open the lock to boat traffic at 09.00 on Friday 9 November or before if river conditions return to normal.
There is insufficient mooring space at Rushey lock to await passage through the lock. No queuing is possible. If you plan to transit through Rushey lock and require the latest update, please speak with Lock and Weir keepers at nearby locks, or call Rushey Lock office during working hours (09.00 – 16.00) on 01367 870218 for advice.
A further notice will be issued on Friday 9 November if required.
We apologise for any inconvenience this restriction causes and thank you for your patience during this time.
