Shannon Navigation Battlebridge/Leitrim Re-Open

Update to Marine Notice 49 of 2026

Waterways Ireland advises masters of vessels on the Shannon Navigation and the Shannon–Erne Waterway that the section of river between Leitrim and Battlebridge is open with immediate effect.

Following prioritised works by a dive team and Waterways Ireland boat crew, the image below shows the location of new navigational conical / post markers and the navigable channel.

Waterways Ireland appreciates the patience and cooperation of waterway users during this disruption and apologises for the inconvenience caused.
