Good call, lancelot9898 Here is what I see as latest update. I would try for the 1600 lock tomorrow since tomorrow is a good travel day. I think Gilmerton bridge is back on schedule but I do not know. I had to wait for a couple of hours there last summer, and only then got through by sneaking under with a
work boat.
