Molesey Lock assessment 2020: lock restriction notice

Published 3 June 2020

This notice was withdrawn on

River restriction no longer in force.

When

Monday 22 June to Tuesday 23 June 2020.

Where

Molesey Lock - chamber approach walls.

Details

Our contractor, ECS, will be carrying out a detailed survey of the approach walls at Molesey Lock between Monday 22 June and 23 June 2020. This will require a small number of holes to be drilled into the lock chamber approach walls to assess their thickness and strength prior to the gates being replaced this winter.

Engineers will be using a floating work platform to carry out this survey. Unfortunately, this will cause short periods of disruption on the days when they are on site. However, we will try and complete the work in the shortest time possible to minimise disruption to river users.

During this period, our contractor is planning to work for periods of up to 2 hours, then stop for up to an hour to allow River users to pass through the lock.

We apologise for any inconvenience these works cause and thank you for your patience during this time.
