Weir and lock complex Grave, Weir and lock complex in North Brabant, Netherlands.
The lock and weir structure on the Meuse River features multiple chambers that control water flow while enabling vessel navigation through different levels.
The complex forms an integral component of the Meuse channeling project, which transformed water management and transportation in the Netherlands over generations.
This engineering structure received recognition as a Rijksmonument in 2000, marking its status among protected Dutch national heritage sites.
The facility operates daily to maintain water levels and accommodate maritime traffic, with the adjacent John S. Thompson bridge providing road access.
The complex stands at the intersection of two provinces, North Brabant and Gelderland, functioning as both a water regulator and navigation point.
