Abingdon Weir Walkway

The weir walkway at Abingdon will remain open after 30 September 2025 until river flows increase.

The walkway supporting structure continues to need refurbishment in order to achieve its full design strength. It therefore remains at risk from impact damage during high flows. We are progressing the necessary strengthen works but will have to temporarily close the walkway when river flows increase in order to safeguard our customers. Once our contractor is able to mobilise to site, to complete the strengthening work, we will also temporarily close the walkway during the construction period.

We appreciate all our customers' patience while we progress this important work and are grateful to everyone for continuing to use the footpath diversion when the weir walkway is temporarily closed.
