Annual Draw Down Programme - Commencing Mon 3rd February 2025
Please be aware of the proposed dates for the 2025 drawdown of the Upper Medway Navigation. We reserve the right to adjust these dates in response to adverse weather conditions or operational requirements.
Note: The section from East Lock to Eldridge's Lock may remain lowered for an extended period to facilitate repairs to the Penstock at East Lock by our contractors.
This year's drawdown period has been shortened to allow our team to undertake additional tree maintenance work.
