In January 2012, a lock gate weighing 90 tonnes of the lock in the picturesque village of Eefde (NL) fell down. As a result, the only access from the river IJssel to the Twentekanaal was blocked and 40 inland navigation vessels could no longer leave the Twentekanaal. A major problem for inland navigation and shippers in the Twente region, who could no longer ship their cargo.
In the summer of 2015 the deck of the Kruisvaart bridge in Utrecht (NL), a movable bridge in the centre of Utrecht, was replaced. A new composite bridge section was transported in a rather special way from the manufacturing location in Rotterdam to its final location in the heart of Utrecht.
