The Environment Agency (EA) and its construction partner, Bam Nuttal, mobilised to site on Monday, 15 September to begin the refurbishment works at Teddington Launch Lock.

The project team are currently installing site compounds and welfare facilities at Ham Street Car Park and Teddington Lock. 

Over the coming weeks, you will see further progress at site as the EA begin to put up temporary fencing and have equipment delivered. 

They will also be building floating barges and pontoons in the river to support the construction work from the water. 

The Thames Path at Teddington Lock and Ham Street car park will be diverted for short periods of time throughout the works. 

These minor diversions are due to commence over the next few weeks and will be clearly marked on site.

At all other times, the Thames Path remains open as usual and diversions will not impact Teddington Lock footbridges which will remain open throughout the EA works.

The project anticipates to be on site for approximately one year, with ongoing construction work throughout this period. 

The project will deliver improvements that enhance the safety, functionality and resilience of Teddington Lock.

Further updates on the work will be available on the EA's Thames Area Asset Page.
