Tees Barrage, Lock and barrage system in Stockton-on-Tees, England
The Tees Barrage combines a river control system with a road bridge, lock, and footbridge spanning across the River Tees in Northern England.
The construction of this water management structure began in November 1991, with Prince Philip conducting the inauguration ceremony in July 1995.
The barrage area includes riverside walks and parks, transforming 100 hectares of former industrial land into public recreational spaces.
The lock system maintains water levels suitable for activities like rowing, canoeing, and jet skiing while preventing flooding and managing tidal changes.
A fish pass with viewing area allows visitors to observe salmon and sea trout navigating through the barrage structure.
Official opening: April 22, 1995
