Heybridge

Over the winter of 2017/18, Essex & Suffolk Water, in partnership with Essex Waterways, will be replacing the sea lock gate and central timber mitre gates at Heybridge Basin in Essex. The project will involve the closing and draining of the lock in October 2017, crane lifting operations for the gates and the assembly and testing of the new gates prior to the re-opening of the lock in March 2018. There will be disruption in the area during this work period but we will endeavour to keep this to an absolute minimum.

Update by Ryan Lloyd

Hi everyone

The upstream piling at the end of the lock is progressing and the planned completion is for this Friday 4th November.

Please note that there may be some restriction on vehicle access at the upstream end of the lock (boat basin end) to remove some equipment this Friday 4th November between 8:00am and 9:00am.  

Thank you again for your support and apologies in advance for any distruption caused.

Ryan
