Godstow Weir B replacement project 2021: lock restriction notice

Published 23 April 2021

This notice was withdrawn on

River restriction has been rescheduled for 2022

When

June to December 2021.

Where

Godstow Weir B, adjacent to the Trout Inn at Godstow.

Details

Passage through Godstow Reach will be restricted at times between June - December 2021. This will be while we build our new weir and remove the old one.

There will be a handful of navigation closures (up to 6 hours) to enable equipment to be taken to the construction site. There will also be a number of shorter closures (up to 2 hours) to allow for concrete pumping across the channel.

Where possible we will time the closures to mornings before 10am, when there is less river traffic present.

During these times boats will be held at Godstow and King’s Locks. Narrow and small craft may choose to use the Oxford Canal (free of charge for the stretch Isis Lock to Duke’s Cut and vice versa, under agreement with the Canal & River Trust for the duration of the works).

More details will be published as we get closer to construction.
