Weir and lock complex Sambeek, Weir and lock complex in Sambeek, Netherlands.
The weir and lock complex at Sambeek is an infrastructure on the Meuse River that enables shipping traffic between North Brabant and Limburg. The facility includes a weir and three locks of varying sizes to handle different types of vessels.
The system was built in 1929 and marked a major step forward for shipping on the Meuse. It allowed larger vessels to pass through the region and transport goods more efficiently.
The locks represent Dutch engineering expertise in water management, demonstrating the nation's relationship with its waterways through technological solutions.
The two smaller locks are about 142 meters long, while the larger lock is about 260 meters long and can accommodate different vessel sizes in any season. Visitors can observe the facility from nearby roads and paths to watch the operations in action.
In 2013, the heads of the large lock were widened from 14 to 16 meters to accommodate modern vessels. This modernization shows how the facility continues to adapt to contemporary transportation demands.
