    In Venette, a first lock was built between 1826 and 1835, 45 metres long and 8 metres wide. Then, in response to the development of navigation, a new lock measuring 125 m by 12 m was built between 1890 and 1900, creating an artificial island for its diversion, the Île des Rats, connected by a metal bridge to the town of Venette. It can therefore accommodate Freycinet-type barges measuring over 38 metres long. A third lock, measuring 185 m by 12 m, was built in 1975, on the left bank of the Île de Venette. It will be restored in 2004.
