In planning these works, we Map B 3 have tried to keep open at least one long distance route between north and Map C 4 south, but regret this has not always been possible owing to the extent of the works. Map D 5 Map E 6 Preventative maintenance such as replacing culverts and repairing bridges Map F 7 are another feature of the programme and these also require stoppages of the waterways. Increasingly we are planning these further ahead in order Stoppage Table 8-18 to reduce emergency closures. Winter Opening Hours 19-22 As in previous years, some of this year’s stoppages are a result of other organisations’ investment in infrastructure, with the Highways Agency and Other Navigation Authorities 22 Network Rail needing access to some of our waterways for the construction or improvement of bridges. Office Contact Details 23 If your cruising plans are particularly time sensitive, we strongly recommend that you confirm dates with the local waterway office before you set off. Most stoppages start early on Monday mornings and finish late afternoon or early evening on Fridays. Please do not plan your passage until Saturday morning. Winter opening hours Please see pages 19 - 22 for winter opening hours.
