3. Details
Following delays to the restoration works that were in the winter works programme, Thames Water will continue to work past the published date.
Scaffold will be set up either side of the bridge restricting the channel at this point to 13 metres. The approach to the bridge will be marked with buoys and lights.
Please proceed with care when navigating and be aware of any large vessels you may not be able to pass under the bridge. Safety boats will be in place during the construction so please follow their instructions.
River users are reminded that boats going upstream must give way to boats coming downstream.
