Houtribsluizen, Lock system and municipal monument in Lelystad, Netherlands.
The Houtribsluizen consists of multiple locks measuring 190 meters in length and 17.5 meters in width, managing water levels between different waterways.
Constructed in the early 1970s, this lock complex became essential for water management in the IJsselmeer region and the development of local maritime infrastructure.
The lock system represents Dutch engineering expertise in water management, earning recognition as a municipal monument for its technical and architectural value.
The locks operate 24 hours daily throughout the year, with sailors communicating through VHF channel 20 and receiving updates via the Waterkaart Live application.
Each lock chamber maintains a consistent curb depth of 3.5 meters on both upper and lower sections, enabling precise water level control.
