Wasn't on this section myself but was told of a blockage on this section. Rapair works are being carried out on one of the rail bridges towards the end of the river. Seemingly they have constructed a working platform on the river bed and have machinery on the river bed. Section has to be portaged, not an easy portage by all accounts.
