Wey Navigation - conditions update

10.30hrs As of last night the coffer dam/stop logs are now in place at Millbrook and as of this morning the team will start bringing the levels back up. 

We would like to thank you all for your cooperation during this period as we are very aware that the low levels caused some of you issues. 

Please do note though that, once up, the levels will remain at approx. 50mm below the normal for the remainder of the project.

We would also like to clarify a couple of points:

  1. The contractors are very consciously working to limit the impact to boaters and are, where possible, allowing craft to pass and then moving materials over the Navigation when it is clear.  If needed they will hold boats back for about 10-15mins but for them, this is a last resort.
  2. Unless you hear it from us, the Navigation is remaining open.  There may be temporary hold ups while materials are moved, but any closures will be planned in advance and communicated ahead of time.

10.00hrs Contractors have requested a temporary reduction in water levels while they undertake essential works to the replacement of Millbrook Weir and footbridge. This controlled reduction will be carefully managed.
