Nijmegen, sluiscomplex Weurt, Navigation lock and bridge complex in Nijmegen, Netherlands

The Weurt lock system contains a bridge and extends 250 meters in length with a width of 16 meters for vessel passage through the waterway.

The complex earned recognition as a Rijksmonument, marking its status as a protected national structure within the Dutch architectural and engineering heritage.

The lock system represents Dutch water management expertise, connecting communities through regulated navigation passages between different water levels of the region.

Ships communicate through Marifoon channel 18 while navigating the lock system, which operates continuously from midnight to midnight throughout the year.

The lock maintains different water depths, with the threshold measuring 4.5 meters outside and 3 meters inside, adapting to seasonal Waal river fluctuations.
