Grote Merwedesluis, Navigation lock in Gorinchem, Netherlands
The Grote Merwedesluis lock measures 120 meters in length and 12 meters in width, connecting the Merwedekanaal with the River Merwede.
The lock system in Gorinchem has regulated water levels and facilitated maritime transport since its construction as part of the regional waterway infrastructure.
The lock represents Dutch water management expertise, demonstrating the Netherlands' long relationship with controlling water for transportation and commerce.
Vessels can communicate with lock operators through VHF channel 18, with operation hours from 6:00 to 22:00 on weekdays and 8:00 to 18:00 on Saturdays.
The control house manages multiple bridges along the Merwedekanaal, extending its influence to the railway bridge in Arkel.
