    Official name: Barrage des deux Acren (Deux-Acren Lock)

    The Barrage des deux Acren is a lock complex on the Dender in Deux-Acren. The complex consists of a 2-meter-wide and 1200-meter-long dam and two new locks on the existing dam. The complex was designed to regulate the Dender and maintain shipping during the works. The architecture firm Canevas was involved in the construction of the complex.

    The Deux-Acren lock is the last one before the Dender River enters Flanders. After both Geraardsbergen and the upstream Walloon village of Deux-Acren were hit by a devastating flood in 2010 (which even claimed one life), plans were drawn up to carry out flood protection works on the Dender. Progress in Wallonia progressed faster than in Flanders: the dam works in Deux-Acren were completed in 2017.
