Details
Bell Weir Lock will be closed to navigation to facilitate crane barge movements as part of the weir refurbishment works.
During this period the upstream layby will be unavailable for use.
Please do not travel to the lock from an upstream direction as there will be no mooring available at the lock.
If you require mooring whilst waiting for the works to be completed and the lock to re-open, please use the public short stay mooring at Runnymede Pleasure Grounds 600 metres upstream at What3Words location: cure.whips.shares.
We apologise for any inconvenience these works cause and thank you for your patience during this time.
