ADVANCE WARNING OF WINTER WORKS AT ELDRIDGES LOCK - 6th SEP - 31st DEC 2010
This Autumn, the Environment Agency will be completely refurbishing Eldridges Lock and installing a new weir gate to improve control of the river levels upstream. Works will commence at the beginning of September and end at Christmas 2010. To facilitate the works, it will be necessary to drain the following river pens for the duration of the works:
Tonbridge to Eldridges
Eldridges to Porters
Porters to East Lock
This means that the navigation and canoe passes will be closed at these locations. An official Notice to Mariners will follow in due course.


The Environment Agency have improved the Medway Canoe trail ready for the 2010 season. Check out some of the improvements here:
