OurDailyChallenge "The Mail"

The Berendrecht lock is the largest lock in the World. It measures 500m in length by 68m in width with a depth of 13.58 meters. It gives acces for large ocean vessels from the River Schelde to the port of Antwerp on the right bank of the River.
Up to its opening in 1989, the adjacent Zandvliet lock held the title of biggest lock in the World. It has the same length but a width of ‘only’ 50m.

The new lock will have the same width and length but a depth of 17,80m.
