| Bridgwater Tidal Barrier is a landmark project for the Environment Agency. It has been designed to reduce tidal flooding risk for homes and businesses in Bridgwater, Somerset. The barrier will cross the River Parrett downstream, with new fish and eel passes upstream and improved flood banks downstream. The scheme comprises the tidal barrier itself, and an operational site including a control building, a stoplog store and an energy centre. The standard of protection against flooding will also be maintained by improving the flood defence banks downstream along the River Parrett at Chilton Trinity, Pawlett and Combwich. Twelve new or improved fish and eel passes will be installed upstream to mitigate any future effects of barrier operations on fish migration. Early access road and ground improvement works are in progress with In-river works planned to start in early 2025 • Meet the project delivery team to learn about their roles within the project • Visit the viewing platform when you can observe the project as works take place |
