The south lock of the Princess Máxima locks in Lith and the lock of St. Andries are closed due to a leakage in the control building. The roof is leaking, particularly above several control spots. Due to the risk of short-circuiting, we unfortunately had to decide to close the operation.
Solution
We want the locks to be usable again as soon as possible. In addition to fixing the leakage, we are also looking for short-term solutions. For instance, the lock of Macharen is now operated locally. This is normally also operated from Lith and was also closed due to the leakage.
Alternative Routes via Bergsche Maas or Lock Weurt
The alternative navigation routes are via the Bergsche Maas or via Lock Weurt, which may result in significant additional travel time.
The north lock of the Princess Máxima locks in Lith has been out of service for some time due to a collision in February 2025. This is currently being repaired: Repair Period North Lock Lith Known.
