Gates are expected to start moving to the closed position from around 10.30, and it should be fully open again by 16.00.
This will be the 187th closure to protect #London from tidal flooding.
As the Thames gets much wider and deeper through #London, it doesn’t build up particularly quickly so no flood risk.
There may be further closures later this week.
Updates to follow when I’m back on duty tonight.

There may be further closures tomorrow and/or Wednesday.
I’m on nights for the next three nights and will update when I have more information.
