Nieuwe Meersluis, Navigation lock in western Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Nieuwe Meersluis connects Amsterdam city waters with the Nieuwe Meer lake through a 120-meter-long and 11.9-meter-wide channel with roll-up doors.
Constructed in 1942, this lock replaced the former Overtoomse Sluis from 1808 to accommodate increased maritime traffic in Amsterdam's expanding waterway network.
The lock forms an essential part of the standing mast route through Amsterdam, enabling north-south passage for sailing vessels exceeding 6 meters in height.
The lock operates continuously throughout the day, with communication available through Marifoon channels 22 and 69 for vessel coordination.
The lock gates incorporate road surfaces that create a bicycle bridge, connecting Jaagpad and IJsbaanpad for local transportation needs.
