PublishedAdvice: Lock 68 Lock Landing, Trent & Mersey Canal
PublishedThe offside lock landing at Lock 68 on the Trent & Mersey Canal remains out of use due to masonry defects in the wash wall. Due to the extent of the damage, along with ongoing funding and resource challenges, including severe weather causing additional repairs to be undertaken across the region, this has required us to prioritise urgent repair works elsewhere. Our local team and engineers will continue to work together to develop a method of repair to the wash wall. A further update will be issued once a timeframe for completing the works becomes available. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience and understanding.

PublishedAt the East Channel upper parting with the Maisemore (west) channel, we have reports of a submerged island of sediment on the left hand (east) side which extends to the middle of the river. Boaters are advised to keep to the right hand (west) bank where our survey indicates depths greater than 1.5m at summer level. Please follow any additional advice from our lock keepers. The navigation remains open, subject to current lock opening times.

PublishedNavigation Closure: Anderton Boat Lift
PublishedWe understand how much the Anderton Boat Lift means to boaters, visitors and the community. We're focussed on finding a solution to get the lift operational again while we look to secure the larger investment for its long-term future. We are still aiming to reopen one caisson in May 2027, as planned. Since the closure of the lift, the Trust has carried out extensive work to identify the best way to repair and modify the caisson gate lifting mechanisms to prevent similar failures happening again. Several options were considered and in Autumn 2025, after the investigation into the cause of failure had been completed, the detailed engineering design began. The design considered a solution that would remove the need for cables and provide a robust and reliable lifting mechanism. However, as the designs have progressed, the complexity of doing this on such a historic structure has led to the scope, and the forecast cost, increasing significantly – to the point where that option is currently neither practical nor affordable. Consequently, we have needed to consider an alternative solution, based more closely on the existing cable system, to get the lift open and operational for boaters and all those who visit. The solution needs to be safe, legally compliant and in keeping with the historic status of the structure. We believe we have now found a proposal which requires testing. The next step is for specialist engineers who are familiar with these lifting systems to design and replace the components required before undertaking a series of tests to prove that the solution is safe and viable. The process will also confirm what other works are necessary prior to the lift re-opening for boat use. Customers and visitors will be able to see this activity being undertaken at the lift this Autumn as we replace elements of the lifting systems and begin testing procedures. We expect to know by December 2026 what further work is required in the new year to reopen the lift by May 2027. We will keep everyone updated through this process as to whether the tests are successful and confirm the forecast opening date. The Trust will hold an open day at Anderton in the Autumn. We'll publish the date once we have the testing programme and at the most helpful point to share progress. The Trust is aware of how frustrating the closure of the lift has been to boaters and that reopening the lift has seemed to be straightforward to many outside of the project team. The open day will provide an opportunity to share more about the options that have been explored and the constraints we have had to work within to get the lift open. It will also be an opportunity to hear about how we approach a secure future for the boat lift in the longer term. Our priority remains to get the lift operating again for boats. We're sorry for the time it has taken to get to this point – and we'd like to thank everyone for their patience and support while we work towards a solution and the reopening of the lift.

Rochdale Locks 1 to 13
PublishedFollowing reflection on last summer and the significant water scarcity experienced on the Rochdale Canal, we will be introducing an operational window for the navigation Locks 1–13. This change is being implemented to provide greater certainty for boaters on when navigation will be available and to help us keep the canal open for as long as possible through the summer months. By managing lock operation within defined time periods, we can use water more efficiently and economically, reducing unnecessary losses and better protecting water levels during prolonged dry weather. Our aim is to balance the needs of navigation with the realities of limited water resources, while continuing to support safe and reliable passage wherever possible. Further details on the operational window, including times and any updates, will be shared on our website and through our usual customer communications. Tuel Lane Lock is available for passage on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays. The opening hours are: Mondays and Fridays 0800-1600 no prior booking required. Last entry at 1500 hrs Sundays 1000-1500 no prior booking required. Last entry at 1400 hrs. No booking needed. Hebden Bridge Locks 7 to 11 – passage available 10am to 6pm daily with last entry to all areas at 4pm. Outside of these times all these locks will be locked off. Padlocks will start to be applied on Monday 17th August from 4pm, starting at lock 11 and working down to lock 7. Lock up completion time will be approximately complete by 6pm taking about 2 hours. They will then be removed from Tuesday 18th August starting at lock 7 and working towards lock 11, completed by 10am approximately. Locks will then be applied in this order from 4pm close down procedure on a night and then removed by 10am in the morning on a daily basis until further notice. What you can do to help? Your cooperation during this time is essential and deeply appreciated. Here are some things you can do to help reduce strain on the system: * Share locks where possible and make the best use of the water available. * Make sure paddles are fully closed once you've passed through a lock. * Aim for minimal contact when navigating through locks by ensuring gates are fully open as you pass through. * Pushing gates open using a boat can damage the gate lining, increasing its leakage. * If you spot a leak or any suspicious activities please call us on 0303 040 4040 or emailing via contact-us Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to manage the canal sustainably.
