Capital investment this winter for the River Thames

Each year, we carry out an extensive programme of work to our locks, weirs and other navigation structures: replacing some where necessary, refurbishing or repairing others.

The majority of the funding for this work comes from Government.

This winter, we are investing in a range of improvements to numerous locks to improve their reliability, upgrades to weirs, repairs to footbridges and much more.

You can view the full programme, including lock closures, using this link 'River Thames restrictions and closures'.
