    Notice is hereby given that the River Lagan between the Lagan Weir and the Stranmillis Weir will be unsafe for navigation at the times listed below.

    River Lagan lowering - Friday 5 - Sunday 7 December 2025

    • 1400hrs to 2100hrs on Friday 5 December 2025
    • 0200hrs to 0900hrs on Saturday 6 December 2025
    • 0300hrs to 1000hrs on Sunday 7 December 2025

    The River Lagan will be partially lowered at these times due to high flows and forecasted rain, and to provide catchment prior to an incoming surge tide.

    River users are advised not to be on the river during these periods as the river level will fall substantially below the normal minimum impoundment level..
