De Roggebot
De Roggebot
De Roggebot is a location on the Vossemeer in the Netherlands, historically defined by the Roggebot lock that connected the Drontermeer and Vossemeer lakes.
The lock operated for 68 years and served as a busy passage for leisure boaters, handling up to 500 to 600 vessels daily during summer peaks. It was notably one of the first locks in the region to employ stewards to guide boats through.
Demolition of the original lock began on 1 April 2023, with its function transferred to the new Reeve Lock. The transition also improved road traffic conditions between Kampen and Dronten by increasing bridge headway to seven metres.
During demolition, Deltares and TNO conducted forensic research on the aging structure, yielding new insights into the lifespan of water-based infrastructure.
