It will be the largest in the country
Nottinghamshire will benefit to the tune of £19 million when the country's largest fish pass, which is now halfway through construction, is completed. Work on the huge project at the Holme Sluices barrier in Colwick, for which the Environmental Agency has allocated £9.7m of funds, is expected to be completed in August 2023.
"At 200m long, the fish pass is 6m deep and 6.5m wide. Once complete it will open up the River Trent for fish and eels. As the River Trent is a large river, there was a need for the fish pass to be large to convince fish that it is part of the natural river system to pass up it. "There were a lot of enabling works needed to be completed prior to the fish pass channel works beginning. Service diversions, temporary access into the park to allow 110-tonne deliveries and road and footpath diversions all brought multiple challenges and complexes that were required to be overcome to enable the project to remain on programme," Mr Lee said.
