flag Abingdon Weir’s walkway closes Sept. 30, 2025, over safety risks from corrosion and water pressure, with repairs expected soon.

flag Abingdon Weir’s pedestrian walkway will close on September 30, 2025, due to structural concerns, including steel support corrosion, identified during a routine inspection. flag The Environment Agency cited rising autumn water pressure as a safety risk, reversing a brief mid-August reopening. flag Unlike Henley’s long-closed horsebridge, officials say Abingdon’s structure is vital for river management, likely leading to faster repair prioritization. flag The walkway, connecting the lock to Abbey Meadows and a swimming pool, remains closed with no reopening date set, though repairs are expected to be addressed promptly.
