River Blackwater (Langford)

Fish & Eel Pass Progress, July 24

The main construction works on the Fish & Eel Pass are complete, finishing touches like handrailing and a small debris deflector are needed before the structure can be put into use but there’s light at the end of the tunnel now.

The progress photos show the structure with the eel pass on the right (looking uphill) which has had all the peg tiles installed and is now covered by a mesh walkway for maintenance access, and the fish pass on the left with the resting pool roughly halfway.

Fencing, supporting gabion baskets of stone and soil backfill have all been completed recently along with the internal tiles on each pass.
