The Limmel Lock was a lock complex on the Juliana Canal in Maastricht, consisting of two adjacent locks. It was one of the locks along the canal, completed in 1934, which together had to bridge a drop of 23 meters. The Borgharen weir and lock complex lies southwest of the lock in the Meuse River.

A new single-chamber lock was built between 2016 and 2018, eliminating the lockage regime. In the future, the lock will close at 1700 m³/s, but with a discharge of 1200 m³/s to 1700 m³/s, lockage will no longer be necessary. Due to the interventions on the Grensmaas, it takes longer for a high water level to reach. The Meuse riverbed has been widened in Itteren, Borgharen, and Geulle, and the banks have also been lowered. This has created more space for the non-navigable section of the Meuse, allowing it to handle higher discharges.
