Notes

Depth gauge at Sheepwash Rd corner well above water level. Its base is so muddy that the scale is obscured and would be illegible even if it were in the water.
The sign marking the position of BP3 has been removed following restoration of pedestrian access to the western bank of the river. Although pedestrian access is again available on the main bridge, the light posts that marked the positions of BP1 and BP2 have been removed.
