Overtoomse Sluis, Lock and bridge system in Amsterdam-West, Netherlands
The Overtoomse Sluis consists of a bascule bridge spanning the Kostverlorenvaart, connecting Overtoom and Surinameplein through Surinamestraat in Amsterdam-West.
In 1809, authorities replaced the original dam with the Overtoomse Sluis lock to establish a direct waterway connection between the Schinkel and Kostverlorenvaart.
The 1949 bridge, designed by architect Piet Kramer, features sculptures by Hildo Krop that reference the location's maritime heritage and transport evolution.
The structure functions as a key transportation link, supporting road traffic and tram line 1, while the bridge operations schedule remains accessible through Waterkaart Live.
The former bridge curator's house at this location now serves as a rental hotel room, offering visitors direct access to this historical water management site.
