The Ecluse de Don is one of the longest locks in the Seine-Escaut basin and is located near the village of Don in northern France. It is approximately 144 metres long and 12 metres wide and sees between 30 and 50 boats passing through it every day, equivalent to approximately 380,000 lorries and 5.3 million tonnes of goods per year. In 2016, the lock was modernised by Ingérop, Bouygues TP RF and Baudin Châteauneuf, on behalf of Voies Navigables de France.
