Thursday 8 May from 2pm The River Thames at Sonning Bridge, near Reading will be temporarily closed to all boats from 2pm on Thursday 8 May for emergency repairs to the centre arch of the bridge. Boaters will be advised as they go through locks leading to Sonning and there will be a patrol boat stopping boats coming upstream from Shiplake Lock. We will do all we can to minimise the length of the closure and apologise for the disruption this will cause to our customers.
