Zdymadlo Bělov, Lock and road bridge in Bělov, Czech Republic
Zdymadlo Bělov is a lock facility with a road bridge spanning the Morava River in the Czech Republic. The installation manages water flow for river navigation and includes a small hydroelectric generator.
The lock system was constructed in 1965 as part of infrastructure development in the Moravian-Silesian region. This project was central to efforts aimed at making the Morava River navigable for transportation.
The structure represents Czech engineering capabilities, combining water management systems with transportation infrastructure in the Moravian-Silesian landscape.
The facility sits about 1.2 kilometers east of Bělov town center and is accessible via the regional road III/36745. You can observe the lock in operation and enjoy views of the surrounding landscape from the bridge.
A new chamber system will extend river navigation on the Morava to Kroměříž, fundamentally changing the region's waterway network. This expansion project represents a significant shift in how the river serves transportation needs.
