Weir and lock complex in Belfeld, Navigation complex on the Meuse River in Belfeld, Netherlands
The Belfeld weir and lock complex contains water control mechanisms that regulate flow levels along the Meuse River through a series of gates.
This infrastructure became a fundamental component of the Meuse channeling project, which transformed river navigation possibilities in the Netherlands during the 20th century.
The complex represents Dutch engineering expertise in water management, reflecting centuries of experience in controlling water for navigation and flood prevention.
Vessels can navigate different water levels through the lock chamber while the weir maintains consistent upstream water depths for navigation purposes.
The facility combines two separate mechanisms: a weir that controls water flow and a lock that enables ships to move between different water levels.
