Engelen Lock, Lock structure in Henriëttewaard, Netherlands
The Engelen Lock spans 90 meters in length and 18 meters in width, featuring a lifting bridge and substantial door opening of 13 meters.
Built in 1897, the lock served manual operations until the 1970s, with operators walking along the deck while managing a cable ferry system.
The lock represents Dutch water management expertise, maintaining an on-site keeper who oversees operations between the Diezekanaal and Maas River.
Communication with lock operators occurs through VHF channel 18, with the lifting bridge reaching 8.40 meters when raised and 4.30 meters when lowered.
The transfer of management from Rijkswaterstaat to 's-Hertogenbosch municipality in 2015 marked a shift in local water infrastructure administration.
