Weir and lock complex Sambeek, Weir and lock complex in Sambeek, Netherlands.

The infrastructure consists of a weir and three locks on the Meuse River, connecting the provinces of North Brabant and Limburg.

Constructed in 1929, the complex marked a milestone in Dutch water management, enabling navigation for vessels carrying up to 2,000 tons of cargo.

The locks represent Dutch engineering expertise in water management, demonstrating the nation's relationship with its waterways through technological solutions.

Two small locks measure 142 meters in length, while the large lock extends 260 meters, accommodating different vessel sizes throughout the year.

In 2013, engineers expanded the large lock heads from 14 to 16 meters width to meet the demands of modern river transportation.
