Whilst construction of the locks for the new canal link takes place at either end of Princes Dock, water has been retained in a large part of the dock by the use of temporary dams. At the northern end the dam provides a road link between Princes Parade and Tom Jessop Way, and in the centre (by the white footbridge) a dam and ramp allows vehicular access to the dock floor beyond. The dams were removed and the new link opened on the 20th April 2009.
