World’s-largest canal lock unveiled in Netherlands

The world’s largest canal lock has been inaugurated in Ijmuiden, a small port town in the Amsterdam port of Netherlands. The sea locks were inaugurated by the Dutch king Vilain-Alexander.
The Izmuiden Sea Lock is 500 meters (1,640 ft) long and 70 meters wide. Construction on the massive infrastructure project began in 2016 and was to be done by 2019. This exceeded the initially planned budget by about €300 million ($338 million).
The Ijmuiden Lock was designed to allow large, modern cargo ships to access the port of Amsterdam. The structure is also deep enough that ships will not have to wait for a favorable water level to enter the canal. About nine meters above sea discharge, this structure also protects against the danger of flooding.

The Netherlands Capital: Amsterdam;
