Part of Priority Project 18 (Waterway axis Rhine/Meuse-Main-Danube), this project aims to increase the lock capacity of the Meuse river to reach class VIb, or the traffic of boats carrying 9,000 tonnes.
The locks located in Ivoz-Ramet and in Ampsin-Neuville are two of the most important in the Walloon region, counting 11,490,000 and 8,880,000 tonnes respectively in 2007. The project plans to build a new lock at Ivoz-Ramet and, for the section Ampsin-Neuville, it will develop the detailed studies, including hydraulic, navigation, socio-economic and environmental analysis.
These studies are aimed at the construction of a new lock at Huy.
State of progress on 31 December 2010:
Due to the economic crisis, the project was delayed by two years but is now almost back on track. Initial objectives will be completed in 2015.
