Dutch River - Embankment works gather pace

Works have resumed on site following the winter closedown, with embankment improvements progressing well at the downstream end of the Dutch River near Goole. Site offices at the Rawcliffe Bridge compound are now fully in place, and access works (Trackmats) are being installed to support work planned along the upstream embankment this year.

Engagement has continued with those directly affected by the works including local residents and businesses, Internal Drainage Boards (IDB), Canal & River Trust (CRT), Associated British Ports (ABP), and Network Rail. Discussions with East Riding Council on the Greenway improvements have restarted, and we are coordinating with events marking Goole’s bicentenary this year, including EA attendance at a celebratory flotilla planned for July.
