Yauza waterway lock, Waterway lock in Lefortovo District, Russia.
The Yauza waterway lock contains a system of gates and chambers that regulate water levels for vessels navigating through different sections of the river.
Built in 1938, this engineering structure demonstrates the Soviet commitment to developing water transportation infrastructure during the industrialization period of Moscow.
The lock represents a significant example of industrial engineering, earning recognition as a regional cultural heritage site that documents Russian water management practices.
Visitors can observe the lock operations from designated viewing areas along the embankment Akademika Tupoleva throughout the year.
The lock maintains precise water level controls through a dual-gate mechanism that allows vessels to transition between varying river elevations.
