The River Avon is to reopen between Bath and Bristol.
The 13-mile stretch of the river was closed in January because of high water levels following weeks of heavy rain.
Spokesman for the Canal and River Trust, Joe Coggins, said they hoped to have the river reopened by Friday lunchtime.
"We have been working non-stop since the poor weather at Christmas to get everything back to normal. We have been clearing up debris but also what's under the water where you get a build up of silt.
"We had to close the river between Bath and Bristol because the water levels were so high and so fast flowing."
The Trust is due to inspect the river on Wednesday ready for the Friday opening.
