Hammarbyslussen, Navigation lock in Stockholm, Sweden

The Hammarbyslussen lock measures 115 meters in length and 17.4 meters in width, connecting Lake Mälaren with the Baltic Sea through Stockholm's waterways.

Queen Christina ordered the construction of the first lock at this location in 1642, establishing a critical maritime passage between different water levels.

The lock represents Stockholm's engineering advancement, allowing vessels to navigate between waters while integrating with the city's transportation infrastructure.

During summer months, the lock operates with specific schedules for commercial vessels and recreational boats, maintaining organized water traffic flow.

The lock structure includes multiple water level sensors and automated gates that adjust to accommodate vessels of varying sizes throughout the year.
