Touring bikes with a wide handlebar cannot get over this. I think you can only get over it with a racing bike if you lift it above your head. Really tight. Take the bridge a little west of this beautiful lock.

You can use the lock gates of the Oorgat lock to get to the other side. But with a shopping bag on hand, that will not be so easy. Sluiswachter sings a song today.

The lock can no longer be crossed.
The next bridge is a few hundred meters further on.
