The Chróścice barrage is one of 16 facilities of this type on the canalised section of the Odra River in Opole. At the end of the 19th century, a trestle-spire weir and a small lock were built here, and in 1911 the step was equipped with a larger lock, 187 m long and 9.6 m wide.
The main goal of the modernization carried out from September 2011 was to adapt the Chróścice Barrage to the 3rd shipping class.
As part of the project, a new flap weir with a fish pass for two-environment fish was built in Chróścice, with a modern weir control room, engine room superstructures and a steel pedestrian and bicycle bridge with ramps for the disabled.
