The Frouard-Pompey barrage spans across the Moselle River with a lock measuring 176 meters in length and 12 meters in width.

Construction of the barrage reached completion in 1972 as part of a larger initiative to enhance navigation capabilities along the Moselle River.

The barrage reflects French engineering expertise in water management while supporting maritime activities that shape regional commerce and transportation.

The structure maintains a water level of 187.5 meters above sea level with a drop height of 3.85 meters for vessel navigation.

An adjacent hydroelectric power station in Pompey generates 1.9 megawatts of electricity while regulating water flow across 4.2 kilometers.
