MARINE NOTICE, No 51 of 2015
Royal Canal
Dublin Spencer Dock Sea Lock
Temporary Closure for Works
Waterways Ireland wishes to notify its customers that Spencer Dock Sea Lock, Royal Canal, will be periodically closed for navigation until mid June due to emergency works requirements for the road bridge (Scherzer Bridge) on North Wall Quay.
Dublin City Council has advised of works required to the bridge, including scaffolding that will effectively prevent navigation beneath the bridge into Spencer Dock over this period. Waterways Ireland has however arranged for passage aligning with planned Newcomen Bridge lifts to be available (refer to MN9/2015 for dates), but outside of these times there will be no entry or exit through the Sea Lock until completion of the works.
Please contact the Eastern Regional Office at 01 868 0148 if any further details are required. Waterways Ireland regrets any inconvenience that this may cause its customers.
C.J.Lawn, Inspector of Navigation, 18 May 2015
