Update on works to reinstate the towpath between Richmond and Kew

The Thames towpath between Richmond Lock and Kew Gardens car park on Ferry Lane is still entirely closed following the collapse of a section of the towpath on Saturday 19 October 2024. 

We have implemented some emergency temporary works to reduce further damage to the towpath. We have not been able to identify a viable solution to allow access while permanent repairs are being carried out.

We are hopeful that we will be in a position to start the permanent repair works in April.
