Stoppage Information:
Where: Struncheon Hill Lock, Driffield Navigation, River Hull
Start: 8:00am 27th July 2026
End: Unknown, but likely to be to at least 27th August 2026
Turning full length boats is available both above and below the lock

Due to large amounts of water loss through the lock the Yorkshire Water Authority who are responsable for the top gates and maintaining water level are putting in stock planks to repair the lock. This work to replace the sealing timbers on the top and bottom gates will take sometime, but will not be known until the lock is drained. It will however be likely to be closed for at least 4 weeks.

While this short notice is not ideal, we have to acknowledge that drink water security in times of dry weather like we are currently having is more important than navigation.

Please plan your boating accordingly.
