At approximately 2200 Tuesday 10 July the walkway bridge in the main lock chamber at Locks 27 was severely damaged and must be removed in order to operate the upper lift gate.
The main chamber will remain closed until the bridge can be safely removed.
The Service Base has mobilized both cranes and a deck barge to facilitate safe removal.
Repairs are expected to be completed by noon today, if not sooner.
